When God selected an Apostle to the Gentiles, He picked the most unlikely person, a persecutor of Christians. After refining and shaping Saul, he became Paul, the greatest missionary and church planter the Christian Faith has known.
When God selected a new king for Israel, He went to a place called Bethlehem and found an unlikely shepherd boy. After refining and shaping him, He had a David, “a man after God’s own heart”.
When God sought a man to lead His people out of Egypt, He went to an unlikely, washed up, eighty-year-old fugitive who was keeping his father-in-law’s sheep. After refining and shaping him, He had a Moses.
God can take us in spite of what the world and the past has tried to do to us and shape us into a vessel of honor to be used for His glory.
