Who are some people that you think that God would or could never use? The type of person that, because of their label, would make God look bad? Murders? Adulterers? Child molesters? Terrorists? Traitors? Prostitutes? Whores? The answer may not only surprise you, but give you hope that God can use you, no matter what label you may wear.

It is easy to think of people like Lincoln, John Kennedy, and Martin Luther King as leaders who inspire others to greatness. But God calls everyone to take a stand for Him, but many times we need someone to come alongside us to help us take that stand. Will you be the one?
Gideon
May 1, 2011 • Chris Edmondson • Judges 6, Judges 7
Sometimes we think that everyone else is more qualified or likely than we are to be a part of God’s story. But even though we may feel insignificant, unimportant or unworthy, God says we are not only valuable—we are wanted! Even though we, or even others, would declare us unlikely, God says we’re not. He declares the unlikely, “likely.” Because God wants people who are available—He always picks availability over ability.
