Let Your Life CountChapter 9
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Phil 3:2
Have you ever felt someone was not up to a particular task
and they surprised you by accomplishing it?
Who encourages YOU to let your life count?
“Your lack of qualifications may be the very thing that
makes you MOST qualified to let your life count in the real
world, where ordinary people live.”
Noah was 600 years old when the flood came.
Mary was around13 years old when she became the mother
of Jesus.
David was the youngest son, yet he became King.
Shepherds were the first people that God announced the birth of His son to...yet
they were considered low on the social totem pole.
Peter was a gruff, outspoken fisherman.
Rahab was a prostitute.
Is there a “younger woman” that you are “training”?
(Titus 2:3-5)
Have you ever grown spiritually when you were helping another to grow
spiritually?
God meets us where we are, but loves us too much to leave
us there.-- Donna Partow
Shepherd Boy
Words and Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
One by one Jesse's sonsStood before the prophetTheir father knew a king
Would soon be foundAnd each one passed
Except the lastNo one thought to call him
Surely he would neverWear a crown
But when others see a shepherd boyGod may see a king
Even though your life seems filledWith ordinary things
In just a moment He can touch youAnd everything will change
When others see a shepherd boyGod may see a king
One by one problems comeAnd dreams get shatteredAnd sometimes it's hard
To understandBut things like chance
And circumstanceThey don't really matter
Our Father holds tomorrowIn His hands
Well it wasn't the oldestIt wasn't the strongestChosen on that day
And yet the giants fellAnd nations trembled
When they stood in his way
But when others see a shepherd boyGod may see a king
Even though your life seems filledWith ordinary things
In just a moment He can touch youAnd everything will change
When others see a shepherd boyGod may see a king
