People who are foolish, base, or despised in the eyes of the world – who don’t have natural talent or ability – are the people who trust in God the most. They haven’t got anything else to trust! The reason God doesn’t often use the mighty is because they must quit trusting in themselves first….
God often uses country hicks to preach the Gospel for that very reason. I guarantee you, when you’re a hick from Texas like me, then you know it’s got to be God on your behalf or you haven’t got a chance. And there’s freedom in that!
