1 Cor 1:27But 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
Abraham lied, and ended up sharing his wife with another man, Sarah laughed at Gods promise, Moses killed a man, and had difficulties to speak. Moses sister Miriam was a slanderer; Noah got drunk and made a fool out of himself. Jonah fled from Gods calling, Gideon had no self confidence, David cheated and murdered to hide his sin. Elijah was depressed, Peter had a bad temper, Paul was a murderer, Martha was worried, Thomas doubted, Sacceus was a thief, and Lazarus was DEAD. The list could go on forever. The truth is that all men and woman God used in the Bible had flaws and challenges. None of them would have been anyone we would have picked for the task. The 12 men Jesus chose to carry the Gospel to the world were young unlearned teenagers. The Bible tells us that God chose that was nothing in this world. You may have heard it before, but the truth is still as powerful: God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualify the called.
