For you now are a part of the body of Christ, and a member in particular. (1 Cor 12:27) I believe that's a more literal translation from the Greek than some versions. This devotional leads right up to my favorite verse. Awesome!

The issue I take with this particular devotional, however, is that is presumes to know how God treats individuals within the body (without discernment between them according to the parenthetical reference to Acts 10:34). When in fact is does not say that God does not see us different from each other. In fact, by saying that, you've missed the crux of what I find to be the most important part of 1Cor 12... You're not a snowflake, one of trillions only slightly nuanced... Nope, you're a vital organ, or organelle if you want to account for greater numbers... You're not special, you're not better than anyone else. You are loved more than anything by the creator of everything.

Another recent favorite of mine is Psalms 107. :)
