Great People

There are many great people described and memorialized in the Bible, like Moses, King David, the apostle Paul, John the Baptist, and Peter, but they were actually no different than you and I. They were all human beings, weak in the faith at times, sinners all the time, and in need of God’s grace. What made them so great was the fact that all were blessed by God. God gave each of them special attention, talents and attributes which made them unique and special to the rest of the human world, but remember that without God’s extra measure of blessings they would have been no different than you and I. I say extra measure, because we are all blessed, but some have that extra measure according to God’s plan. You see God still makes some people special in accordance with his plan. There are great people of modern times or recent history and I’m sure you can think of a few. When you think of them or consider them, just remember that that they aren’t special on their own, but rather because God blessed them for a special purpose in his plan. He could do the same for anyone, even you or I. So let’s not get wrapped up in people’s accomplishments, past or present, they weren’t so great, but for God’s blessings.
