"There is no one who is insignificant in the purpose of God."
I think we are so quick to check us out of God’s usefulness. We have so many requirements of ourselves we think make us worthy or unworthy of being used by God.
Of course, all of the people in the Bible that God used had many flaws. It seems that if people aren’t perfect, society calls them hypocrites. We are quick to cover our own flaws with excuses, highlight the flaws of others giving them no excuses and then use any excuse to not do God’s purpose or think we aren’t good enough to be a part of His plan!
God even used people who were not “for” Him in order to fulfill His purpose! That is such a statement to the power of God. But, I’d prefer to be “for” Him and doing His purpose!
“But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth” (Exodus 9:16).
