“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31
As I look back on history, it's incredible how many famous and powerful leaders started out as peasants or came from poverty-stricken families. God can use what we would call "nothing" to help fulfill his plan in history.
So true, Lydia. God seems to delight in turning most of our expectations upside down. He brings beauty from ashes, uses the simple to confound the wise, creates heaven and earth from the formless and void, speaks not in the thunder but in the whisper, and makes the first last and the last first in the kingdom of heaven. And all so that we may know that He alone is God, and worthy to be praised!
