Today's Word of Blessing

GOD’S CHOSEN VESSELS

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.    (1 Corinthians 1:27)

  Dearly beloved, God displays his power and wisdom through the weak and lowly vessels of the world.

Before my marriage I was a timid person. I was very weak and did not have wisdom also. When the parents of my husband started searching for a suitable partner for him, he expressed his desire to have a tall person as his wife.

He strictly told them that his partner should be at least 5’ 6” tall. Hence they were searching for a tall bride for nearly three years. Finally, they found me. Since I was 5’ 7” tall, they were very happy.

When they came to our house and asked for me, I was really scared. I did not know how I would be able to live in that family which was serving the Lord mightily. The thought of ministering to thousands of people was haunting me. However from that day onwards I started praying, “Lord, I can do nothing. I am a village girl. Please fill me with Your wisdom.”

By the immense grace of God, He filled me with His wisdom. Today, I am able to do His ministry in various countries. He is using me as a mighty weapon to bring consolation to countless people. I am really amazed at the way the Lord has chosen me, a weak vessel, to do His ministry. How true is the following promise of God: “God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong” (I Corinthians 1:27).

Of course, I was a weak and shy person. I did not have wisdom. But it is the Lord who called me for His ministry. He who called me will certainly call you and bless you also. He will bless your family through you. He Himself will go before you. He will grant you His treasures of wisdom and knowledge and use you mightily for His glory.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

I praise You and glorify You. Wisdom and strength come from You. I surrender my life to You. By your immense grace, grant me your wisdom and strength. Bless me with success in all areas of my life and exalt me before all eyes. Use me as your vessel to spread your divine love to others. May your name be glorified through my life.

I ask this through Christ our Lord

Amen.
