“And He said to me, ‘Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.” (Acts 22:21)
Paul thought he was the right man to preach to the Jews. God knew better.
Paul thought he was the wrong man to preach to the Gentiles. God knew better.
Paul was a vessel prepared, but every time he tried to guess what he was prepared for, he seemed to make a mistake. Our job is to be useful to the Master and then let Him use us how He sees fit.
We need to make sure and be careful that we aren’t trying to decide where we should be used. That’s not our call. God knows better.
