If you are not a "Who's Who"

Did you make the "Who's Who" in high school or college?  in your business profession or sport?  Oh, you didn't?  Are you tired of hearing only about those who do?  Ever think that only those who did make the list can be used by God?

Well, you would be wrong.  The Bible is filled with examples of those who hardly made the Bible's list and certainly not the "Who's Who" of the Bible.  Ron Walters recently shared this list:

*  Shiphrah and Puah - two midwives who dared to defy Pharaoh
*  Bezaleel - a simple architect to whom God gave the job of a lifetime
*  Ehud - used by God for no better reason that he was left-handed and available
* Shamgar - though mentioned only once in Scripture, he still had time to kill 600 Philistines and sae Israel
*  Asa - a son of godless parents who became a godly king.
*  Tychicus - a courier who delivered holy telegrams
*  Asahel - a fleet-footed sprinter with a tenacious heart for his king
*  Hushai - a convert counselor for David who successfully infiltrated enemy ranks.

Ordinary people used by God.  I'm glad God uses ordinary folks - aren't you?
