YOU...
....don't need to do anything else for God to begin to use you now.
You don't have to read another book, listen to another series of
sermons, memorize another passage, plant another seed gift, or repeat
another creed or confession. You don't even need to attend another
church service before God can use you. God uses willing vessels,
not brimming vessels. Through- out the Bible, in order to fulfill His
plans for the earth, God used all kinds of people from all walks of
life:
Jeremiah, a child who fearlessly spoke the Word of God
Aaron, a servant who became God's spokesman of the Lord.
Nicodemus, a Pharisee who became a defender of the Faith.
David, a shepherd boy who became a king.
Hosea, a marital failure who prophesied to save Israel.
Joseph, a prisoner who became prime minister.
Esther, an orphan who became a queen
Elijah, a homely man who became a mighty prophet.
Joshua, an assistant who became a conqueror.
James and John, fishermen who became close disciples of Christ and were known as the 'sons of thunder"
Abraham, a nomad who became the father of many nations.
John the Baptist, a homeless man who became the forerunner of Jesus.
•Mary an unknown virgin who gave birth to the Son of God.
Nehemiah, a cupbearer who built the wall of Jerusalem.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Hebrew exiles who became great leaders in the Babylonian Empire.
Hezekiah, an idolatrous father's son,
who became a king renowned for doing right in the sight of the Lord.
Isaiah a man of crude,unworthy lips who prophesied the coming of the Messiah.
Paul a self-righteous persecutor who became the greatest missionary in history and the author of two-thirds of the books of the New Testament.
What is your story, will you be another unknown overlooked by the people that surround you each day? Every muscle, idea and feeling tuned to being useful to somebody. Loved by some intelligent, beautiful stranger who notices you while others don't. Often you yearn, pray and put yourself out to be seen, heard and talked about like the others whom the crowd ooohs and aahs with unfeigned delight. There is One. The crowd should applaud but instead responds with apathy at best and boos with hostility at most?
The Audience of One!
As you will see,all GOD wants is You. But He wants you truly now. Will you answer the Call?
