Think of a time when you were asked to handle a task for the Lord but felt you didn’t have the knowledge, experience, or ability to do it. We’ve all felt like this before—and perhaps even offered God excuses why we can’t be the one to take on the project. But He doesn’t always use strong, influential, or accomplished people to do His work. In fact, He often chooses the opposite.
The Lord is looking for humble people who are totally dependent upon Him and willing to make themselves available for whatever He calls them to do. Moses didn’t feel God could use him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt because he wasn’t eloquent, but he became one of the greatest leaders in Israel’s history (Deuteronomy 34:10-12). David was young and had no experience as a warrior, but the Spirit of God empowered him to fell a giant with one small stone (1 Samuel 17:48-49).

By accomplishing great things through unexceptional people, the Lord proves that the world’s wisdom is foolishness. We have no power to save ourselves and no ability to serve Him apart from His strength and wisdom. It doesn’t matter how experienced you are or how qualified you feel. If you’ll simply depend on Jesus, make yourself available, and obey Him, He’ll use you for His glory.
