This morning
in Sunday School I began a new missionary story, and the
beginning isn't pretty. Actually, the middle isn't pretty and the end isn't pretty - but the whole thing throbs with exuberant joy and sweetness and is a graphic example of the Lord's delight in making himself strong in our weakness. The story is called "A Weak Thing in Monieland" and tells about a baby, carelessly handled by a doctor at delivery. The child was underdeveloped and almost paralyzed on one side, yet grew to be one of the most remarkable missionaries ever sent out! He taught, he built buildings, he traveled hundreds of miles by foot - one foot that worked and one that didn't - all because time is short and eternity is long. Are you in a wheel chair? Is your husband impossible? Have you been given only a few months or weeks to live? So what? You can use the time better now than if you had never had the hardship. Our Commander is looking for soldiers who are available, and that includes all the flat-footed, half-blind, and too short. As a matter of fact, the only one we know of in the whole Bible chosen to serve who was a perfect physical specimen was Saul of the Old Testament, and he was a colossal bomb! We have a Savior and Redeemer. He Has saved us, and He will redeem the remaining time. Will you let Him? Tell Him! |
