Throughout the ages, God has used ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things by his power and for his glory. Specifically, he uses and strengthens those who wholly trust in him and are willing to follow him and his authority, regardless of the cost. In every generation the Lord has personally called men and women unto himself, including Samuel who eagerly responded with a heart to serve God and eventually be used to change the direction of an entire nation. In his grace God continues to call people today, building his kingdom and achieving his purpose through those who put their faith in him - is God calling you today?
