Mysterious Ways

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: When they were but a few in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. Psalm 105:11-12

God moves when it makes no earthly sense to do so. He chose a couple barren and well into old age with which to start a chosen race. He chose a little shepherd, the runt of his family, to rule and establish His people. He chose fishermen and tax collectors to build His church with. He chose the man most actively involved in trying to destroy His message to spread that message across the world. God doesn't pick the people and ways and times that we think make sense. He moves in ways we can't understand. But, if you'll notice, His way always works out. That old couple produced one of the most enduring races in history. That little shepherd became one of the greatest rulers of all time. Those fishermen built a church that has lasted two thousand years. That opposer successfully and powerfully spread His message throughout most of the known world. Remember that when things don't make any sense to you, God's probably doing His best work.
