I was made aware recently of the notion that God is looking for a few good men, as if he needs them to accomplish His purposes. This error actually reduces the all-sufficient God to needing man. Perish the thought!!!
I came across this quote recently from Alistair Begg that sums up my thoughts pretty well (though it didn’t make it into this week’s Walking in Grace 😊): “God is not looking for the strong, powerful, and mighty, as if He needs them on His side in order to set forward His purposes in the world. No, the reverse is the case: He is looking for the weak ones.”
Hey friends,
