As I consider Peter’s life and ministry the first thing that stands out is God’s ability to use ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. Peter was no towering intellect, nor was he a man of extraordinary insight or courage. He was a workingman, a fisherman. This is the very thing that makes him so remarkable. He is so much like us. And if God could use an ordinary man like Peter, then surely He can use ordinary people like you and me.
“Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you.”
–1 Corinthians 1:26 (NLT)
Lord Jesus, help me to realize that Your grace is made perfect in my weakness. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
