How can God use a person such as me?
Do I realize that I am an example, a mentor, to others?
Your spouse, your children, your friends, your co-workers, your neighbors, and your community all watch you.
What kind of example do you set?
Do you support them in Christian living and succeeding in?
At one time or another, we have all asked these questions.
Think God can’t or won’t use you? Think again. God uses ordinary people, His children, to accomplish His will every day.
Throughout the Bible, God uses ordinary people, His children to do extraordinary things.
Moses had killed an Egyptian who was beating one of His people.
Peter was a fisherman. Paul was known for his horrible persecution of believers of Jesus Christ, before his conversion.
David was a shepherd.
Ruth, Noah, Isaac, Job, James, etc were all ordinary people, God's children, used to make meaningful impacts in the lives of others.
Think of Pope Paul. He is just an ordinary man that God has used to do extraordinary things, reaching millions of people.
We may not all be called to have an impact that will reach thousands of people today, but you will have a meaningful impact on those in our lives and they will have an impact on others.
You are an example of Christian living, whether you want to be or not – you have an influence on others. All the lives we each touch will watch our example.
If you believe God, if you submit to His will, if you are obedient to His Word, if you care for and have compassion for His children, stand back and watch the work of the Lord through you and through those you have been an example for.
