Unqualified, Yet Selected By God
When we think of biblical heroes, we often imagine superstars of faith - charismatic leaders, powerful prophets, and mighty warriors. But the truth is, many of God's most impactful servants were unlikely candidates. They were ordinary people with ordinary flaws and weaknesses, yet God chose them to accomplish extraordinary things.
Take Peter, a rough-around-the-edges fisherman who denied Jesus three times, yet became a bold leader in the early church. Or consider Rahab, a harlot who hid spies in Jericho and helped the Israelites conquer the city. These stories show that God doesn't just use the talented, the educated, or the socially elite. He uses anyone who's willing to surrender to Him.
My own son, Isaac, is a modern-day example of this. Despite struggling with speech, Isaac loves the Lord and knows the Bible inside and out. And God is using him in a powerful way - introducing his dad's Bible studies and blessing others with his testimony. Isaac's story is a reminder that our weaknesses don't disqualify us from being used by God. In fact, they can become opportunities for Him to demonstrate His power and love.
What does this mean for us? It means that our background, our limitations, or our social status don't disqualify us from serving God. In fact, our weaknesses can become the very things God uses to demonstrate His power.
Think about it: when we rely on our own strengths, we're more likely to take credit for the results. But when God works through our weaknesses, it's unmistakably Him getting the glory. As the apostle Paul wrote, "My strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
So, who's eligible to serve God? Anyone who's willing to say yes. Anyone who's willing to trust Him, despite their doubts and fears. Anyone who's willing to step out in faith, even when the outcome is uncertain.
If you're feeling like you're not good enough, smart enough, or talented enough to serve God, take heart. God specializes in using the unlikely. He'll take your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. He'll use your story to impact others.
You might be the next unlikely champion God uses to change the world. Will you answer the call?
