 When God called David, he was tending sheep. When God called Moses, he was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro. When God called Isaiah, he was in the temple. When God called Samuel, he was serving Eli. When God called Elisha, he was plowing the ground. When he called his disciples, what were they doing? They were fishing. They were doing something. God can use whoever he wants, but this is what the Bible reveals. God does not anoint the lazy. When it comes to being used in ministry, whatever your past, you can work with you. Whatever your sins, you can help you overcome them. Whatever issues you may have about your insecurities, he'll work through those. But he will not anoint a lazy person. Many of us say, God, what's step 10? And he's looking down and saying, you haven't even taken step one. Some say, God, I want to cross the seas and declare the gospel. And many haven't even crossed the street to declare the gospel. When he calls you into ministry, he calls you to do something.
