True. "I am a hand" is valid; "You be a foot" makes me nervous, as well.

We have to trust the Spirit to meet the need. Remember the feeding of the 5000? "How are we ever going to feed all these people?"

As OBW points out, God loves order. Jesus appointed 12, sent out 70, separated the thousands into groups of one hundred each. But to me, this is fluid order, entirely apt to meet the contingency.

Too quickly, the followers had "frozen order", able only to meet the past needs, not the present. Only the Spirit could meet the present needs.
