JEREMIAH 1:9 (CEV)
The Lord reached out his hand, then he touched my mouth and said, "I am giving you the words to say..."
1 CORINTHIANS 2:3-5 (NLT)
I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God touches and speaks through ordinary people.
DAILY FODDER
Why might God be more interested in speaking through ordinary people than through slick polished preachers?
PRAYER
Merciful God, I'm amazed at the kinds of people you choose. Forgive us for following around the celebrities who put on a good show that can impress the socks off people. Touch me and give me life enriching words that lead people to Jesus. I want to be a part of the company of your ordinary Spirit-touched people. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
