1 Corinthians 1:27 "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.."
As I was listening to a message this afternoon, I was reminded again how very true this verse is. From Genesis to Revelation God has used the foolish by the world's standards to bring change in the world. Noah, had never seen rain, but was building an ark. Moses, held a stick before the Red Sea, but God parted the waters because of his obedience. The king of Egypt couldn't even save his army. God confounded the wise.
Haven't you often felt that you are just a "nobody" and can't do anything important. Give God a chance. He can use you and me to confound the wise. God is counting on us to shake His kingdom. In the days we are living in, we need to step up to the plate and make a home-run for the kingdom of God.
I am not a baseball fan, but I know many of you are. You get excited for the home-runs. Let's do it for God. There are so many hurting people all around us. So many neglected elderly people. If you aren't sure where to start. Ask God. If you are serious, I know God will start giving you a burning desire for the work He has for you.
Stop living safe for Jesus. Be Pro-Active in His Kingdom. I hear a lot of Christian marching for political reasons. What about for Jesus? Oh you may say, 'but we will get arrested if we mention Jesus." Ooops, so did Peter, James, John, and the list goes on.
Jesus didn't save us to be safe, He saved us to be radical!
God bless you
