God often chooses unexpected people to do wonderful things

But Moses said to the Lord, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” (Exodus 4:10 ESV)

 Moses lamented that he wasn’t a very good speaker, yet God chose him to lead the Hebrew people out of Egypt. Speaking in front of a crowd is considered the number-one fear of the average person, the number-two being death.
 So Moses had to have a pretty big amount of trust in God to accept such a public job that was also fraught with so much danger. And sure enough, God came through for him!
 The apostle Peter seems to have been a serious hothead at times. He often got into arguments and famously denied knowing Jesus right before He was crucified. But God used him to preach to thousands of people only a few weeks later.
 God often chooses unexpected people to do wonderful things through them, so that everyone will know it’s His doing.
 We sometimes try too hard, work too hard, and try to do everything ourselves. We must immerse ourselves in Jesus and let Him burn to light the way, because if we try to do that ourselves, we’ll soon burn out.
 When I remember to take some time to include Him in my daily life, things work better, run smoother, and are less stressful. —Nina Kole [1]

 As you walk with Jesus, resting your head on His heart, you will learn to know His Word, His will, and His ways. You will want to obey Him, not out of forced compliance, but out of heartfelt connection. Your joy will abound as you remain in His love. —Sue Detweiler
