What is your greatest ability?

[Ferd]

I have been thinking about peoples ability as it relates to God and service in the church. This Sunday my pastor made a comment in his sermon that has really been with me, kind of connecting the dots. He said that often times you find someone with less ability working in a church while a real talent sits on the pew. The difference is one stepped up.

That got me thinking about the bible and the people God used. Samuel was an orphan. David was a kid with much more talented, stronger, OLDER brothers. Gideon was a nobody afraid of his own shadow. Peter was “an ignorant and unlearned man”….and a loudmouth coward…. Paul was a murderer….What was it about these guys that made them so used? I think really their common ability was availability.
