1st Corinthians 1:26 For ye see your calling brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
The way that God chooses leaders is quite different to how we as mortals may go about selecting those who are to bear sacred responsibilities. Mortal man often gives consideration to external qualifications, dispositions, intellect, expertise, and seniority. With God, even though those things have their place they are secondary to one’s willingness to obey.
In fact, God would often choose those who may not have great intellectual appeal but who are willing to be taught by Him and He outfits them for their work if they be ready and willing to do His every will. The Lord will have us understand that education or specialized training in institutions of higher learning may have their place but are not considered as the most important prerequisites for sacred service.
A teachable spirit, one’s willingness to be led, and a disposition to obey God, even when it goes against our own grain, are just a few of the characteristics He looks for. In addition, it is much more important to be imbued with The Spirit of God than to have a long list of titles from literary institutions. These do have their place, but they can only furnish external qualifications.
Isaiah 11:2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
