For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro
throughout the earth that He may strongly
support those whose heart is completely His.
2 Chronicles 16:9
God's choices often seem so illogical from our point of
view. We tell ourselves it can't be what He really means. . . .
Would you have singled out a sun-withered, eighty-year-old
shepherd to face down one of the mightiest kings in the world? Moses had been
out to pasture for forty years. He had completely lost touch with his people.
He'd been raising a little family, living with and working for his
father-in-law. In four decades, the man couldn't scrape together enough shekels
to build a little place of his own.
Admit it, doesn't he seem like a highly unlikely prospect
for the job of delivering an entire people group from the clutches of a mighty
nation? . . .
God's eyes roam across the planet to find specific
individuals whose hearts are just right for a particular task He has in mind.
And when He finds them, watch out! He plunges them into the stream of action,
upholding them with His mighty hand.
