"With so many people, most of whom seem so much more capable, more gifted, more prosperous, more important than I, who am I to think my part amounts to much?"
That’s the way folks think. They really do.
Maybe you’ve found yourself stuck in that mental trough too.
Aren’t you glad Patrick Henry didn’t occupy such a rut? And Henry Ford? And Martin Luther King, Jr.? And General Norman Schwarzkopf? And Martin Luther? And Winston Churchill? And Jackie Robinson? And Abraham Lincoln? And Mother Teresa? And Margaret Thatcher?
"Ah, but it’s a different world today, man. Back then, there was room for an individual to emerge and stand out in a crowd. You can’t do that anymore."
WRONG!
God has always underscored individual involvement.
He still does.
How many did it take to help the victim who got mugged on the Jericho road? One good Samaritan.
How many were chosen by God to confront Pharaoh and lead the Exodus. One.
How many sheep got lost and became the object of concern to the Shepherd? One.
How many were needed to confront adulterous David and bring him to his knees in full repentance? One.
How many prophets were called to stand before the wicked King Ahab and predict drought? One.
How many did the Lord use to get the attention of the land of Palestine and prepare the way for Messiah? One.
Never, never underestimate the power of ONE!
