Qualified?

I’m not very old. I barely qualify as an adult. Sometimes it’s very hard to talk with those who are older than me (particularly seniors) because I feel like I simply don’t know enough.

The Bible says something different.

“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go… Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you” (Jeremiah 1:7-8).

God will send you whether you’re young or old, and He will protect you from your enemies.

Still don’t feel qualified?

Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Sarah was impatient, Elijah was depressed, Moses stuttered, Zacchaeus was short, Abraham was old, and Lazarus was dead.

God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

(Note: I did not come up with this. I found it on the internet, here.)

I love this. I’m certainly not qualified. I don’t have anything special, yet He’s still calling me to do His work.
