One of the most dramatically unqualified biblical heroes is Jacob.
Jacob was a liar, a con, a trickster, a fraud. He spent much of his life haunted by bad decisions and exiled to the chaos of self-inflicted consequences. If anyone deserved to be called unqualified, it was Jacob.
And yet God called him. Chose him. Even blessed him. And Jacob ended up playing a major role in God’s plan to redeem the world.
I am just like Jacob in so many ways: Unqualified from a human perspective BUT every bit as valuable and loved in God’s eyes.
Don’t underestimate your usefulness by this world’s standards or by wait for approval from those around you – God has a plan for your life – Don’t hold back.
God is Calling you too …
