What is your Potential?

You know…God doesn’t always use the strongest or the best looking people in the world to do His work. He uses those that have the motivation to do His work. The thing that is even more amazing than who He chooses, is How He chooses. Did you know that sometimes God gives you a small task to see how you handle that task? And then when you succeed in that task…He’ll give you a bigger task. There is a perfect example of this in the Bible. It’s found in Psalms. Psalm 78: 70-72 – 70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: 71 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. 72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. First, He wanted to see how David handled being ruler and master of some of the dumbest creatures He created. Sheep are not smart. If you have ever listened in church, grew up on a farm, or seen these animals, you would know that I’m not being cruel. Sheep are dumb. They will graze for hours when they find a good patch, and never look up to see where they have gone. They’ll end miles away from their shepherd. It takes the love of a shepherd to keep them safe and together. This passage states that God took David from the sheepfold and brought him to be ruler of Israel (another not so bright bunch of creatures). God was preparing David’s heart for what was in store for him in the future. What is God preparing you and your heart for? Until next time…Keep Looking UP for your inspiration and God Bless!!!
