Assume that I am wrong, that somehow I lack any humility and therefore no credibility to speak about God’s Word.  Let’s say that I have studied but somehow managed to incorrectly store, speak or deliver God’s Word, such that the meaning is completely different than intended.  Let’s say that I am annoying man and therefore incapable of effective delivery of the message of hope and love found in the Bible.  Let’s say I am the worst disciple who ever laid foot on the planet.  None of this matters, because even if I am so crippled by my own inadequacies, all I must do is pick up the book and read it to allow God’s Holy Spirit to rectify, overcome or transform any personal shortfalls on my part into something good.

Father, then if this is the obstacle which all man shall transfix to excuse their hearing of your Loving Word.  Let me be removed as a variable from the equation.  It matters not if they ever again hear one single, original thought from me if they would but be transformed, renewed and set free by your Holy and Righteous Word.  Forgive me, remove me from the calculus or give me confidence that no matter how poor a messenger I truly am that you have always been able to make up the difference or deficit provided by my lack of talent, skill, credibility or authenticity.

Now I may be truly bold.  For my insufficient delivery has been nullified as a factor in performance.  My arrogance or misunderstanding no longer infringe upon the majesty of God’s perfect scripture.  I have tried to be adequate, sufficient, talented and eloquent, but alas this is my lot.  My lack of talent no longer impedes the efficacy of the Biblical Message I am delivering.  Enough of my shortcomings, look upon His Glory, His Majesty, His perfection as a counselor, Father, Brother, Teacher and Friend.  He will never ever let you down, never ever leave you or bail out when times are tough.  He is the reason that none of my frailties have any consequence.  In fact my lack of talent demonstrates more effectively that he can take any tool and create something glorious.

I am overwhelmed to have been held in the hand of Almighty God and used to fix, repair or renew anyone or anything.  This is my greatest victory to be held close to God.  In Jesus’ name.
