Genesis 12:2-3
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you… and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
After 75 years of age can someone still change the world? For 75 years Abram worked the same job, in the same country, the same way his father had. He was destined to live an ordinary life and be forgotten in time. No son, no legacy, and no impact. But God had a different plan. He could have used a big powerful king to set up His great nation, but instead He chose a childless unknown man from Ur.
You see when God steps in, things change. The childless couple become a nation, the unnoticed become famous, and the insignificant change the world. It feels like in the Biblical accounts that God loves choosing everyone’s last choice.
Being someone considered insignificant, who plays a minor role seems to be the very person God wants to use. That's tremendous news because that means God's blessing is not limited by our abilities, our status, or our vocation.
God chooses to bless from the least to the greatest because that is the kind of God He is. It’s how God has always been.
God chooses the 75 years-old childless man and his wife, Sarah to start a nation, the youngest and smallest of Jesse's son's to rule a country, a teenaged girl from the country to raise the Savior of the world, and then called fishermen to start a movement.
God wants to bless us and He invites us into His amazing plan. The only question is: will we follow Him into "the crazy impossible, and amazing adventure" He is inviting us into?
