A Life of Prayer #22 -- James 2:1-5 -- Would God choose me for His team?
Description
Remember elementary school and choosing teams? Does this still happen today? What a nerve wracking deal. This week the NBA draft has been occuring. Teams spend millions of dollars to get the right person. And if you are chosen, what does that mean? It means you matter; you have value; want you on our team. You don't have to be in the NBA or elementary school. Life's ups and downs can still be mapped by those moments of choosing. Did you get chosen for the job or for the school? Did they choose your grant proposal? Did she say yes to your invitation? Isn't every wedding day all about being chosen? A ring says I choose you. I love you above all others. I want to live with you for the rest of my life. I choose.
So I’ve been pondering these words from James chapter 2, "Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world?" And it makes me wonder, "Would God choose me for His team?"
