Honored and Humbled

Today I received a question via email in response to my article about A Good Day. It was a question about Scripture, one that I was able to answer with little difficulty. In fact, it took me very little time to write my response. I pray that it helps the recipient better understand the passage in question.

Anyway, after the fact I began to think what an honor it is to have someone ask for help understanding God’s Word better. After all, I’m nothing special, not a scholar or a pastor, just a servant of the King with a desire to know Him and His Word better. And a desire to help relay His Truth when I can to others.

This then led me to feel so humbled by the idea of actually being able to do just that with God’s help and the leading of the Holy Spirit. It amazes me that God sees fit to use me any way, let alone to help someone understand His Word or to teach. I know it shouldn’t amaze me; God is all powerful and can do anything He sees fit to. I guess what amazes me is that for whatever reason He has chosen to use me anything. If He can take me and sharpen me into a tool worthy of His use, He can do the same with you, perhaps in a different capacity but none the less He can. Are you willing to allow Him to sharpen and shape and mold you for His purpose? I can testify that if you will the reward He gives is unparalleled.
