There's Hope For Today

DAY 236 OF 366

D.L. Moody said, “When God has an impossible task to do, he finds an impossible man and He breaks him.”

His statement brings the Apostle Paul to mind. The devil’s chief prosecutor became the Gospel’s chief promoter. Paul’s legacy is a legacy of greatness. When a nation in decline needed a mighty warrior, God chose an unlikely farmer named Gideon found hiding his meager crops from the big bad Philistines. Gideon is not remembered as a farmer, but as a cunning commander of men. Gideon’s legacy is a legacy of greatness. To march a nation out of bondage, God chose a fugitive shepherd named Moses. Moses’ path was marked by the great acts of God. He shared a shepherd’s vocation with a boy named David who would leave a legacy of unparalleled greatness, and a lineage that would deliver God’s own Son into the world.

No man comes to God to offer a resume of greatness. God always begins with an empty page, a broken heart, an obedience bought by tears, even failure of spectacular dimension.

This is the glory of the matter: That God can use anyone to accomplish His incredible purposes. Do you dare ask God to do great things through you?
