The stuttering Moses
Like a thorn amidst roses
Fighting for his own to the extreme
Once a baby at the stream
The Jesses' youngest – David
Ruddy and not lazy
Forgotten by loved ones
When he went shepherding the flocks
The Jewish Esther
An orphan so tender
In total obedience to her helper-
Her dear family member
The promiscuous Rahab
In kindness radiant
Hiding the spies from danger
Of Jericho's rangers
Moses had no smooth voice
Yet he was the Lord's choice
In Jesse's house, David was most irrelevant
But to God he was the most significant
Esther though a 'nobody'
At the palace, God made her a 'somebody'
And Rahab the one known as a harlot
From her lineage, God brought the Messiah forth
Just to mention a few
Of all that God chose and made new
Proving that He doesn't choose the qualified
But the justified who He now qualifies
Knowing that we have been called
Not because we were strong
We must live to give Him glory
Through all of our Life's story
For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God--and righteousness and sanctification and redemption-- that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 NKJV |
