So Sven has picked Theo Walcott for England's world cup squad. He's 17, never played first team football, he's one of only 4 strikers picked (and 2 of those are currently injured) and Sven has never actually watched him play a match!
Foolish? Maybe, but it makes you think about how God operates in a similar way. I certainly don't look like a good prospect for doing his work on the earth but he's backing me anyway.
1 Corinthians 1:26-29
Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.
It may not be logical or sensible for Sven to pick Theo, it's certainly not logical or sensible for God to want to use me. Fortunately he does it anyway.
