"And Samuel said to Jesse, 'Are all the young men here?' Then he said, 'There remains yet the youngest and there he is, keeping the sheep.' And Samuel said to Jesse, 'Send and bring him. For we will not sit down until he comes.' "
I Samuel 16:11
After all the older sons came before Samuel and were passed by, they finally got to the least of the least – the kid tending the smelly sheep. What an encouraging word! There is hope for me. Despite the fact that I don't have the age, gifts, or persona of other people, God can still use me. The fact is that "not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world...and the things which are despised God has chosen" (I Corinthians 1:27-28).
Today's Thoughts: God's criteria for choosing his servants are not the same as the world's.
Have a choice day. Love you.
