Be UsableSample

It is not good to be too 'at home' in this world. We are in the world but are not of the world. Great men and women of God have always had this attitude. Through salvation, we come from God and should constantly remind ourselves of this.

The primary reason God chooses to use those who are nothing by the world's standards is so that it is impossible to take credit.

If the Lord used those who had it 'all together' in the natural, then they would share the glory that rightfully belongs to God alone. But when the Lord works miraculously through someone who obviously has no talent or ability, then everyone says, 'This must be God.'

Not only does this keep others from misdirecting the glory that belongs to God, but it keeps the person who God uses from swelling up with pride. One of Satan's greatest weapons against someone God is using is to tempt them to think that the Lord is using them because they possess some superior virtue.

God uses nobodies. We will cease being used when we think we have become a 'somebody' (in our flesh). He will not share His glory with anyone else (Isa. 42:8).

Prepare your heart to be ready for the next opportunity, so when God asks you to do something small, do it quickly.

We are not from the world.
