Unlikely Heroes

A little shepherd boy facing a giant…

A baby left in a basket in the very river meant to destroy him leads God’s people out of slavery…

A young boy hated by his brothers, falsely accused ex-con saves a nation and his family with a dream…

A beautiful young Jewish girl approaches a King and saves her people…

A faithful prayer warrior thrown in a den of lions…

Three boys refuse to bow step into a fiery furnace…  

A young virgin girl riding a donkey in the cold starry night…

Story after story God takes ordinary people and surrounds them in the extraordinary. He sees potential when others see shortcomings. He recognizes determination while others never noticed the sheer drive of willingness and their commitment to God. He knows their faith is in Him while others think of what they cannot do, they think of what their God can do.

As you read this I wonder what God sees in you. What trial, what destination, what test is a part of His plan for your purpose. I have no doubt at times you will feel inadequate and unsure of yourself, but believe He sees a hero for His glory in the making. Though you may feel it unlikely and others around you may scoff, He watches and waits patiently for your time to arise and be all that He has called you to be.

For you are here at this specific time and place for such a time as this…
