How many of us have uttered this sentence, or held this thought?
If ever you feel like you’re too messed up to be used by God, read the Bible. See how He uses deeply flawed people to accomplish His purposes all the time.
Just in today’s passage; Jacob is cheated by Laban, so he rigs the system to get Laban back and Rachel steals from her father’s house and lies to his face about it.
This is the man who would become the namesake for Israel and the woman who gave birth to two of the 12 tribes of Israel. They are NOT insignificant contributors! God even appears to the unbeliever Laban to issue a warning.
The point is this: no amount of human sin or interference will stop God from achieving His plans.
So you should worry less about being perfect, and more about recognizing your sin and submitting yourself to God.
Remember David wasn’t a person patterned after God’s heart, but a deeply flawed person seeking after God’s heart.
So should we all be.
