Who Am I?

Let's take a look at the life of D. L. Moody as an example.

"Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'"
Matthew 19:26

Dwight L. Moody was a poorly educated, unordained, shoe salesman who felt God's call to preach the Gospel. One day as he and some friends gathered together for a time of prayer his friend said, "The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in a man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him."

D. L. moody was moved by these words. Later, during a revival meeting where Charles Spurgeon was the main speaker, he realised for the first time that it was not Spurgeon speaking but the Holy Spirit speaking through him. His friend's words came back to memory and his eyes were opeend to the truth that it is not the messenger who is important but the message. With the Holy Spirit in him, he could be a mighty man of God even though he may not have had a great education or be a genius. D. L. Moody went on to become one of the finest evangelists of modern times. A simple man with no great skills but one who gave himself to God wholeheartedly.

Do you think of yourself as an ordinary man or woman? Remember that God does extraordinary things through ordinary people and the Bible has plenty of such examples. Isn't that how His glory and power is demonstrated?

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Cor 12:9-10

Attempt great things for God and His kingdom. trust in Him at all times. You are what you allow God to make you!

My prayer for you this morning is that you may be anle to echo the words of the apostle of grace, "But by the grace of God I am what I am." 1 Cor 15:10
