You have probably heard this, or something like this, before —
Abraham was too old.
Sarah laughed at God’s promises.
Moses stuttered.
David was an adulterer.
Noah got drunk.
Jacob was a liar.
Jeremiah suffered depression.
Martha worried.
Timothy had stomach problems.
Elijah was burned out.
Rahab was a prostitute.
Jonah ran from God.
Thomas doubted.
Paul had anger management issues.
And yet — God used them.
People who serve full-time in ministry already know that God can use anyone, and everyone. None of us are perfect. We all have different weaknesses, and sometimes we feel that we are the only ones who struggle, who fail, who cannot do what we are trying to do.
The Lord is not surprised by our weaknesses. He sees His plan and how He can use us in it — as we are, as we will be, as He changes us. He will not leave us alone, He will not leave us the same. He will make us worthy for what He gives us.
It is not easy. It never will be easy, or without struggle or challenge.
But — it is worth it. It is worth it to put your hand in the Lord’s and trust that He will guide you. It is a joy to see Him work through you.
Take the step. Let God change you. Let God use you. In Covenant Players.
