Least Expected

God uses the least expected. I'm fully convinced of that just by looking into my own life. It says in 1 Corinthians 1:27 that God uses the foolish things of this world to shame the wise.

What I always enjoy hearing is the testimonies of people who formally had ship wrecked lives and someway or somehow God managed to pick up the remaining fragments of that life and turned around and used them to do something glorious for His Kingdom, something of eternal significance.

Don't count a shepherd boy out who was the youngest of his brothers and was forgotten by his father to see if he was the anointed king. Doing so you would be counting out King David.

Don't count out a fisherman who had a problem with his mouth and denied the one he followed three times. Doing so you would be counting out the Apostle Peter.

Don't count out a son of a carpenter who was from a despised placed called Nazareth. Doing so you would be rejecting our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Paul said in Ephesians 2:10, For we are His worksmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Alright. We were created to bring God the glory, despite background, despite where we have gone, where we have been, it doesn't matter. We have been created to bring and give Him glory.

The question is, how will you approach this? Will you approach this with a broken surrendered heart declaring, "Lord, here I am, Send me!" Or will you say that God is incapable of using you and you are beyond being used by Him.
