Says Brother Bob Hendrick: “In the letter to the Hebrews, there is a list of people God considered ‘faithful.’ Knowing the stories of some of them, it seems that God’s standard is pretty low. Among those listed are Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah. Gideon did not want to lead God’s army and tested God over and over. Barak would not go to battle unless a woman, Deborah, went with him. Samson? Well, you remember Delilah, and she wasn’t his first bad decision. Jephthah made a rash promise to God that he had to keep. I’ll not put the scripture references; you can ‘Google’ the names. What you will find is, God uses and brags on people as common as you and I. Our usefulness depends on Him, not on us.”
