One of the biggest struggles in life is being a dad. Have you ever thought about how to qualify as a dad? There is no training, no courses required. No license or degree, it just happens. And off you go on the hardest job in life. We know about qualifying. You need to qualify for a job, a scholarship, a loan. You must qualify for the team, the finals and so on. But what about with God. Look who God uses!
God used a doubting and sometimes disobedient dad named Abraham to be the father of the faithful. Jacob was a cheat and liar and yet he became the father of God's people Israel. Moses was a murderer and dragged his feet in obedience yet led and taught the people knowing God face to face. Joshua was fooled by the Gibeonites, Gideon had trouble trusting God at first, David was a ladies man and a poor father. All this to say the key is not the person God uses, it is the Lord ! We are all unqualified to do what needs to be done so the key is a willing and responsive heart. That is all God is looking for! What happens when we let Him use us? Great things!
