Prodigal: That pack house doesn’t look like much.
Me: You can never tell sometimes. It can be very useful.
Prodigal: God can use anything can’t he.
This is from the book Reaching for the Invisible God by Philip Yancey
God often does his work through “holy fools,” dreamers who strike out in ridiculous faith, whereas I approach my own decisions with calculation and restraint. In fact, a curious law of reversal seems to apply in matters of faith. The modern world honors intelligence, good looks, confidence, and sophistication. God, apparently, does not. To accomplish his work God often relies on simple, uneducated people who don’t know any better than to trust him, and through them wonders happen. The least gifted person can become a master in prayer, because prayer requires only an intense desire to spend time with God.
Praise God that he can use the weak things of this world to show His glory!
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God
1 Peter 5:6
