No Respecter Of Persons

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 21st of January, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

“But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.” 
1 Corinthians 1:27-29

And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
John 1:46

Folks, the Lord chooses the nobodies of this world to do His bidding because He will not share His glory with any man. Philip was telling Nathaniel that they had found Jesus, the Son of God. Where does He live? He lives in Nazareth and of course, Nathaniel said, “Can anything good come out of that little dusty town called Nazareth?”. Well, the Prince of Peace came out of that little town, and what was He? Was He a doctor of philosophy? Was He a professor at the universities? No, He was a simple country carpenter, but He was God made flesh, Emanuel, God with us. 

I want to say to you today, do not despise your situation. One thing the Lord has taught me is that He is no respecter of persons. He will use any man, any woman, any boy, any girl that will put up their hand and say, “Lord, I will go for you.” The Lord chose twelve disciples. They were uneducated. They were country fishermen. The Lord chose the Father of the nations, Abraham. He was a farmer. The Lord chose a beautiful, young Jewish maiden to be the mother of His Son, to carry God in her womb for nine months, and then give birth to Him and bring Him up and look after Him. She was uneducated but she had a heart after God.

I want to say to you today, do not despise yourself. Make yourself available to the Lord and He will use you more than you could have ever dreamed. 

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9

This is our time. This is the time to stand up and say, “To God be all the glory!”

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful Saturday,
Goodbye.
