Not Your Obvious Choice

In the Bible you‘ll notice a pattern to the people God chooses. He chooses people who are not obvious choices, from a human perspective, to do the jobs He wants them to do. David wasn‘t the obvious choice to be king. Gideon wasn‘t the obvious choice to fight the Midianites. The disciples weren‘t the obvious choices to be world-changing leaders. There‘s a reason God chooses the way He does. God chooses those in whom He can develop a strong root system. And it‘s actually to His advantage to choose those who don‘t feel qualified for the job, because they are less likely to think they can rely on themselves to make anything happen.
