God takes up the weakest instruments to accomplish
His
mightiest ends:
A rod
Ex. 4:2
2
And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. (Exodus 4:2)
A ram's horn
Josh. 6:4
4
And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. (Joshua 6:4)
A shepherd's sling
1 Sam. 17:40
40
And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine. (1 Samuel 17:40)
A cake of barley bread
Judg. 7:13
13
And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. (Judges 7:13)
An earthen pitcher
Judg. 7:20
20
And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon. (Judges 7:20)
The jawbone of an ass
Judg. 15:15
15
And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. (Judges 15:15)
Anything, in short, when
used of God,
will do the appointed work;
He
can use a crawling worm as well as a scorching sun, a gourd as well as a vehement east wind (
Jonah 4:7, 8
7
But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
8
And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. (Jonah 4:7‑8)
).
Even the feeblest expression or exhibition of Christ, in the life or worship of a saint, is an odor of a sweet smell, in which God is well-pleased.
Entire confidence in the Lord's love gives courage to do the Lord's will.
It is not what I am to do, but what He will do with me.
O Lord,
Thou art our Father;
we are the clay, and Thou our potter;
and we all are the work of Thy hand.
Isa. 64:8
8
But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. (Isaiah 64:8)
