Bible For Dummies 4

God can do extraordinary things with ordinary people

I am creating a new series called The Bible For Dummies. It is not meant as a condescending title, but rather an attempt to see deep biblical truths that are easy to apply to our lives for better living in a distracted and busy world. So many people feel stressed and overwhelmed. I hope these biblical truths give everyone a new tool to find peace in the middle of chaos and light and love in a world where they can seem elusive,

 

Bible For Dummies 4. Come as you are! You don’t need to get yourself cleaned up or made up. Jesus loves and accepts you just as you are. He’s the God of the fat chance, slim chance, no chance, the 2nd chance and the last chance. He loves to show his people who He is when the odds seem stacked against us. Just cry out to Him. Jesus help! He will! Just ask Gideon, Jehoshaphat, Daniel, David, Joseph, Joshua, Peter, Paul, Joseph and Mary and many other ordinary people God used to overcome huge odds to do extraordinary things.

 

"The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” The Lord answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.” -Judges 6:14-16
