Soul Dreamer Journey Notes: Don’t Count Yourself Out
So many times we look at our past, our failures and blunders, and reason that we are too damaged, too different, too disqualified to be used by God.
Looking at all of the people with flaws and unlikely pasts God used in the Bible though reminds us how God uses those the world may set aside for His purposes, from Jacob to Peter and Paul. He qualifies the called when they have the faith to step into the arena He has called them to.
“But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are.” 1 Corinthians 1:27-28
You may not look the part, people may look and pass over you, and your past may “disqualify” you – but don’t count yourself out! God loves you, and loves to choose the least likely ones to do great works and make a difference! (Why do you think the “underdog” plot is so popular?).
Despite what you’ve been through He’s tapped you into the game; play boldly knowing He wants you to win. – Julene
