Read Romans 2:1-11
For there is no respect of
persons with God. Romans 2:11 (KJV)
A few years back when I was serving as the youth and
college pastor of a large church, a high school baseball player in our
community became a serious pro prospect. Though baseball kept him on the road
most weekends, from time to time he would attend our church with a few of his
friends. Each time, I would watch from a distance as parents and teenagers
alike would show him great favoritism simply because he could throw a 95 mph
fastball. (Today he plays for the Tampa Bay Rays)
This comes as little surprise since,
as a culture, we are enamored with celebrities. We view them as more important
than us. Yet, in God’s culture, He created each one of us uniquely and for a
special purpose. God is not impressed with our best qualities because He gave
these qualities Himself. He wants us to take what He gave us and fully become
the man or woman He created us to be. To Him, each one of us is special!
God
is not impressed with your ability, only your availability. Commit today to be available to Him!!
