Topic: He Can Use Anyone
Key Verse: For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. — Philippians 1:21(Billy Graham Daily Devotional 31 January 2018)
Message: Helen Keller, who is a classic example of handling life’s handicaps, said, “I thank God for my handicaps, for through them I have found myself, my work, and my God.”
Some people with handicaps drown themselves in self-pity, and thus limit their usefulness and service to mankind and to God.
The Apostle Paul knew the pangs of suffering. He used his infirmity rather than allowing his infirmity to use him, and he used it for the glory of God.
He seized everything, even death, to glorify his Lord. No matter which way fate turned, he was one jump ahead of it, and using it to magnify his Savior.
Prayer for the day: Even my handicaps can be used by You, Lord Jesus. Like the Apostle Paul, let me rise above them for Your glory. Billy Graham Daily Devotional 31 January 2018
