As a young boy, Thomas Edison’s teacher’s told him that he was "too stupid to learn anything,” and he didn’t have much more success in the workplace, either, as he was fired from his first two jobs for being unproductive. As an inventor, some reports claim that Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. Fortunately, attempt number 1,001 was a success and the rest, as they say, is history.

But Thomas Edison wasn’t alone. Other well-known names began as slow students, mediocre employees, or less than stellar individuals, with little or no hope of achieving anything with their lives by the world’s standards…names like Gates, Einstein, Winfrey, Spielberg, Jobs, and Disney, just to name a few. But we all know that that wasn’t the end of the story, that these people, and others just like them, went on to change the world in their own way.

Well, the Bible is also full of the names of plain, ordinary people, individuals that were often perceived as useless or under-achievers, until God stepped in and did the impossible with their lives. And He still does that today!
