Daniel 12:3 "Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever." NIV "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." KJV There are many who want to be used by God, but they sit back and wait for God to show Himself, to prove that He is God. Some may bargain with God and tell God they will serve Him completely if He will but do some wonderful thing through them. God chooses whomever he pleases. There are times when He chooses someone before they are ready or willing. When God wants a true leader, He chooses those who are committed to Him. He makes spiritual leaders of those who are dedicated to giving all for the Glory of God. Heavenly Father, search our hearts and reveal to us whether or not we stand as potential spiritual leaders for God. Prepare us and guide us to the place of total commitment to the Lord and His kingdom. Choose us to be spiritual leaders for Your glory, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen. ©2011 Daily Grace Bobbi Craigmyle, Psy.D., BCPCC No Copyright Infringement Intended Personal Use Only | ||
I agree. When God chooses someone for a specific purpose He knows they can do it. Moses comes to mind. He made excuses but God showed Him how it could be done and gave him helpers. Your prayer is a good one and is one we all should be praying. Thank you for sharing.

Part of being wise is being willing to be used. Very good. Thanks for the encouragement here.
