"And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I
should not destroy it: but I found none."
Eze 22:30
Abraham was too old.
Moses stuttered.
Miriam was a gossip.
Jacob was a liar.
Gideon doubted.
Elijah was
burned out.
David, first his armor didn't fit, then he had an affair and had
someone killed.
Solomon was too rich.
Isaiah
had unclean lips.
Jeremiah was too young.
Jonah didn't like the job.
Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree
pruning.
Naomi was a widow.
Peter was afraid of death.
Thomas believed only if he could see it.
Paul was a murderer.
Mark
was rejected by Paul.
Timothy had ulcers.
Lazarus was dead.
Martha was a worry-wart.
...or so they claimed,
before Ruach Hakodesh (the Holy Spirit) empowered them to rise to the occasion and become some of the greatest heroes of our
faith.
