God routinely has used the weak, the underdog or the flawed individual to do great things. No matter how broken you think are, you are never beyond God’s saving Grace.
"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. He chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong" (1 Corinthians 1:27 Easy-to-Read Version).
David wasn't even home when the prophet Samuel came to anoint one of Jesse's sons to be king. David was a shepherd boy, expected to watch the sheep.....
Most of the apostles were simple fishermen, with perhaps Matthew the tax collector as one of the few with much learning.
St. Paul was a devout Jew who persecuted the early Church. He held the cloaks of the men who stoned St. Stephen. Paul was on his way to Damascus to imprison what he believed were heretics - and that's when he was thrown off his horse and encountered Jesus.
The Bible and history are full of ordinary men and women who answered God's call. All the easier to see that it is God who does most of the work for good things to happen
Everyone got to learn that in the series The Chosen. I love that series!
Abraham was 80 years old and in a desert city of Ur. Moses was in the desert escaping from Egypt where he killed a guard. David was a shepherd boy.
AMEN!
