It's so funny you should post that. When I first started reading the Bible, I started in the New Testament...and stayed there for a long time. I didn't know who the people were that were being talked about and decided to read the Bible from the beginning. What a concept huh. :huh:
After reading a while I thought...if God can use these people, he sure as heck can use me! :D They were just regular people who listened when God talked to them. They didn't always do the right thing along the way, but the more they obeyed God the more they grew.
It's a good lesson for all of us. We should stick that post on the frig, and when we start thinking that we're not good enough for God to use, read it and realize we're not perfect, but if we have a heart for God He can use us. :agl1:
