The nobodies

Bethlehem Ephrath, you are one of the smallest towns in the nation of Judah. But the Lord will choose one of your people to rule the nation— someone whose family goes back to ancient times. ~ Micah 5:2 (CEV)

Isn’t it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, chose these “nobodies” to expose the hollow pretensions of the “somebodies”? ~ 1 Corinthians 1:28 (MSG)

KEY IDEA:

God uses the least important nobodies to carry out his plans.

PRAYER:

Lord, thank you for noticing me. I'm sort of a nobody in this world. I confess that I try too hard to be a somebody -- even though I can see that you are predisposed to work through the nobodies. Please help me to accept who I am and to find my confidence and significance in you. I can't wait to see what adventures you have in store for my life. Amen.
