Have you ever heard of toe wrestling? It is a well appreciated sport in England. Every year, people come from all around the world to attend its championship. The focus of this sport is to pin the opponent’s foot in a similar way an arm wrestler pins down their opponent’s wrist. All this done whilst two competitors sit on the ground locking their bare foot with each other.
Despite the toe being one of the most ignored or overlooked part of the body, it plays a significant support role in our body. The apostle Paul specifically used the example of a foot to illustrate how important everyone’s role in the body of Christ. He asked rhetorically in 1 Corinthians 12:15, “Now if the foot should say, Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.”
Each person serves a vital part in the body of Christ, you have value to give no matter how insignificant you think your role may be in the House of God. Together, we can serve and make a positive difference. Just as the foot or the toe is a vital part of the body, so is every small task you could possibly imagine you could do for the glory of God.
