“But 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; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence.”(1 Corinthians 1:27-29) KJV
Do you have a desire to make the Lord known to others? Do you want to be available when situations and opportunities arise to make Him known?
What a mighty God we serve! He allows us to play a part in His plan and it never ceases to amaze me how God can take the weak and base things of the world and confound the wise.
I have had times in my life when I simply didn’t want to exist anymore. I wanted to give up, to die, to end it forever, and yet the Lord stepped in and rescued me!
God is a rescuer! He is a redeemer! And He doesn’t just redeem us for the sake of redeeming us, although He could. Instead, He so desires to do life with us, to lead and guide us, to give us purpose beyond the pain!
That is a God who not only is able and willing to save but who saves to the uttermost!
That’s amazing Grace!
He doesn’t simply give us a new lease on life. NO! He gives us life! He doesn’t simply perform heart surgery, He does a heart transplant!
We don’t deserve it. I don’t deserve it!
In the sight of a holy God, our works, our deeds, our supposed goodness is as filthy rags, and yet He chose us! The base things of the world to present the glorious gospel to those around us! What a mighty God we serve!
So today, the challenge question is this: Are you available?
Are you available, to not only be inconvenienced for the sake of the gospel, but also to share to the good news of what Jesus has done?
Listen, there is coming a time when the things we do will be tried with fire and only those things which have eternal value will remain. All the rest, our personal ambitions, successes, our castles in the sand, will be burnt up.
Therefore I say, let it burn today! Let this be our heart’s cry right now: Father, burn away the dross, the things that don’t matter, and let me love the things you love and hate the things you hate!
There is coming a time when it will all be tried by fire anyhow. Why not start today!
