Part 4: Why Would God Choose Me?

Judges 6:14-15, “The Lord turned to him and said, ‘Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?’ ‘But Lord,’ Gideon asked, ‘how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the lease in my family.’”

WHO DOES GOD MOST OFTEN USE?

1.) God Uses Those Who Are Insecure.

Exodus 4:10, Moses said to the LORD, “O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”

Exodus 4:11-12, The Lord said to [Moses], “Who gave man his mouth?... Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”

2.) God Uses Those Who Are Most Unlikely.

1 Samuel 16:6-7, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

3.) God Uses Those Who Are Broken.

Luke 22:60-62, Peter replied, “Man, I don't know what you're talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord then turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.”

WHAT DOES GOD WANT TO DO THROUGH YOU?

You have to step out to find out.

Matthew 14:28-29, “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.”
