There are lots of logical reasons why God should never use us. And we are in good company.
Noah got drunk.
Abraham lied about his wife.
Jacob was a swindler.
Moses stuttered.
He also had an anger problem.
Hosea married a prostitute.
David had an affair.
Solomon had a bunch of wives.
The woman at the well had a bunch of husbands.
Naomi was a widow.
Sarah was too old.
David was too young.
Peter was afraid of death.
Lazarus was dead.
Miriam was a gossip.
Jonah ran away from God.
Thomas doubted.
Jeremiah got depressed.
Elijah got burnt out.
Martha was too busy.
Timothy had stomach problems.
John Mark was rejected by the apostle Paul.
Moses was a murderer.
So was David.
So was Paul.
I guess the next time we get to feeling insecure or not good enough, we ought to think of these great people of the Bible & how they struggled. There really is nothing new under the sun.
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficent for you'....Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
2 Corinthians 12:9
