In the animal kingdom the honeybee has one of the most highly developed social structures. At the heart of the hive, which usually has about 80,000 bees, is the queen. The colony has no future without her. The 80,000 bees do not just sit around and watch the queen they each have a special duty to fullfil. The forager bee collects food. The guard bees protects the hive. The undertaker bees get rid of any dead bodies from the hive. The water collecter bees bring moisture to the hive. The plasterer bees repair the hive. The fanner bees send a signal at the entrance of the hive to locate any lost bees. The scout bees keeps the hive under alert for any dangers from the outside world. There are endless jobs for all these bees. So where is this all going? The Lord works in the similar way. He gives special gifts and task to all His people. Everyone can do something and noone has been called to sit around. Unless all of us do what God has called us to do the work of the church will not get done.
-God had set the members, each one of them, In the body just as He pleased. 1 Corinthians 12:18
