Now, go! I will help you to speak, and I will tell you what to say.
LUKE 22:32 (GNT)
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you turn back to me, you must strengthen your brothers.
THE ESSENCE
God even gives weak and broken people assignments on his behalf.
DAILY FODDER
Do you ever feel like you're not the kind of person that God would use? Consider Moses and Simon Peter. They both had obvious weaknesses and messed up a lot of things before God called them. Perhaps weaknesses are more of an asset than strengths in God's way of doing things.
PRAYER
Gracious God, thank you for giving weak and broken people assignments. I admit that I'm slow to take them seriously because I feel like I need to be a better person before being usable. Open my eyes to your way of doing things and clear all hesitation from my mind. Through Christ Jesus, you are establishing a different kind of "kingdom" that has room for misfits like me. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
