Noah, the 1st recorded sailor and drunkard. But yet, still a man God used mightily. Amen!
We often think of them as superhuman beings. Those great biblical characters, like Abram, Moses, David, Peter, Paul, & Mary, etc. Though they did great things the truth is they were ordinary people who had a past (sin included) that God used to bring about His will. Even in serving God they sometimes fell short, yet God still used them. There's a lesson here. We need to stop cursing ourselves for the many times we've fallen, and start praising God for the number of times He's raised us up. What's in our past is past, over and done with. God is at work reshaping and remolding all our life experiences into a mosaic or quilt that will continue to tell the story of Jesus. His redeeming, reclaiming, and rebranding of lives that brings glory to God the Father. Each one our lives has meaning to God and impacts those around us. God is not out to make us super; He just wants to work through us, and let others call what He does extraordinary.
Until tomorrow...
