For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.—Phil. 4:13.

 

Jehovah caused Moses to become a deliverer of the Israelites. But when did Jehovah use him? Was it when Moses felt qualified after being “instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians”? (Acts 7:22-25) No, Jehovah used Moses only after He had shaped him into a humble, mild-tempered man. (Acts 7:30, 34-36) Jehovah gave Moses the courage to stand before the most powerful ruler in Egypt. (Ex. 9:13-19) From this we see that Jehovah uses those who display godly qualities and who rely on him for strength. Throughout history, Jehovah has caused his servants to fulfill many different roles. What will he cause you to become? Much depends on how willing you are to exert yourself. (Col. 1:29) If you make yourself available, Jehovah can cause you to become a zealous evangelizer, an effective teacher, a capable comforter, a skilled worker, a supportive friend, or whatever else he needs to accomplish his will. w19.10 21 ¶5; 25 ¶14

Jehovah molds us until we are soft ,pliable putty in his hands. We may feel weak but Jehovah then says to us -trust in My strength, you are in MY hands, don't worry about what mold I put you in.

Jehovah used Moses to carry out his purposes because of his humility, he will help us just the same as long as we show a humble attitude.

[Gruder]

We have seen time and again Jehovah uses humility and not ability. I appreciate the thought that Jehovah molds us into what HE wants. Whatever it is that He chooses, gives us the wonderful privilege to support His Kingdom. It in return, gives us the inner satisfaction and joy doing His work!
