Leaders

God has infinite ways to accomplish His purposes. Legions of angels are eager to do His bidding. Yet, when He wants to do a great work upon the earth He habitually calls out ordinary people and transforms them into leaders.

Could God have delivered the Israelites from Egyptian bondage without Moses, a man who considered himself in every way to be unworthy? Certainly. Could the people of Israel have been freed from the Midianites without Gideon, or protected from the Philistines without Samson’s services? Of course. Did the Lord have to call Deborah or Esther to help save their nation? No. These were all fallible people who served God imperfectly. If God had wanted perfection, He would have commissioned angels, such as Gabriel or Michael. Instead, He chose unremarkable mortals and helped them to fulfill His purposes.

Just as God fully equipped people in biblical times to accomplish His purposes, so He will enable you to do whatever He asks you to do. If God is calling you to serve Him as a leader, don’t be intimidated. You follow a long line of commonplace people who have enjoyed the amazing adventure of participating in the Lord’s activity.
