God Uses Unlikely People | Advent Day 14
Daily Scripture Reading: Luke 1:30-33
Throughout history, God has chosen some of the most unlikely people to serve Him in pivotal ways.
A few of the many examples include Abraham, an old man who became the father of an entire nation; Moses, a stuttering murderer who challenged the most powerful ruler in the world, led God’s people out of slavery in Egypt, and recorded the Ten Commandments; David, an adulterer and murderer who was called “a man after God’s own heart”; Rahab, a prostitute who helped Joshua’s army conquer Jericho; and Mary, an unremarkable teenager living in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere who gave birth to the Son of God!
Why did God choose Mary? Why does God choose any of His unremarkable children to accomplish history-altering things for Him?
Could it be that He sees what we can’t see in another person? Could it be that He sees in you what you can’t see in yourself?
God has called you, as His child, to be part of altering history for others in His name. It’s up to Him to determine how many lives will be changed through your obedience to Him.
Will you humbly submit to His call to alter history in your world?
Prayer
God, I love you and want to love and serve you with my whole heart. Help me to be open to your call on my life to follow you in whatever way you lead. Amen.
