God Loves To Use The Weakest Saint

And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”.
Romans 10:15

When God calls for volunteers, do you respond? It may surprise you to learn that God is looking not for the most capable candidates to do his work but for the most faithful.

He doesn’t need your talent as much as he does your trustworthiness. He can supply you with everything you need to do all he calls you to do.

Oswald Chambers analyzes the qualifications of God’s “sent ones”—qualifications that help to ensure that God gets the credit for whatever is accomplished.

WALK WITH OSWALD CHAMBERS
“The Christian must be sent; he must not merely elect to go. How am I to know I have been sent of God? By the realization that I am utterly weak and powerless, and if I am to be of any use to God, God must do it all the time. “Is this the humbling certainty of my soul?

“The only way to be sent is to let God lift us right out of any sense of fitness in ourselves and place us where he will.

“The man whose work tells for God is the one who not only realizes what God has done for him but who realizes his own utter unfitness and overwhelming unsuitability—the impossibility of God ever calling him.”

WALK CLOSER TO GOD
Of those who were called, “not many … were wise”—so that the wisdom might come from God; “not many were influential”—so that God might prove to be the source of strength; “not many were of noble birth”—so that the glory might be wholly God’s (1 Corinthians 1:26).

Moses, Gideon, Jeremiah and Isaiah considered themselves totally inadequate to do anything of lasting significance for God. But in their weakness, his glorious strength could be clearly seen.

When God has a job to do, only weak people need apply. Weak people who are willing to say, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8).
