Ain't Nothin' But A Thing – Deuteronomy 7:7

7 God wasn't attracted to you and didn't choose you because you were big and important - the fact is, there was almost nothing to you.

– Deuteronomy 7:7

Ain't Nothin' But A Thing

Where were you when God called you into the "fold?"  What kind of shape were you in?  For a lucky few, you were just kids, growing up in a good Christian home, attending Sunday School and being fed a regular dose of God's Word.  But for the rest of us . . . well, let's just say our path to the Cross was a bit more bumpy and "adventurous."

But look at us now!  All shiny and new, battle-tested and victorious, and if we truly understand this whole "Christianity" thing, well . . . we are still as unimportant as we ever were, but now we have a future, and God has laid a path out before us, and we can march hand-in-hand with Jesus, right on into His throne room.  Hallelujah!

Yes God was attracted to us because we needed Him, not because He needed us, or our talents and abilities. He reached down to many of us when we were at our lowest, and He has brought us to a place where we can be effective ministers of His Gospel.  And if we continue serve Him, and we see ourselves as there being nothing to us, He can take that humility and He will show what a mighty thing He can do through us.  

God is God – THE God. EVERYTHING and EVERYONE pales compared to HIm.  Aren't you glad He was attracted to your nothingness?  How about today, we try to be the greatest "nothing" we can be for Him?  Let's humble ourselves and give all recognition and glory to the One who saw us, and Who reached down and saved us, and set our feet on the Rock of His Salvation!

Prayer

Father, You are God.  We are nothing but through You we can do all things.  Thank You Lord for calling us out of our despair and Loving us so much.

Have a Blessed day everyone!
