Seventy-four

Moses said, "Oh come on now! Be sensible! Not Me! I'm a terrible speaker. They'd never listen to me." And God said, "Oh, for crying out loud! O.K., I'll use your brother to help with the speaking." And Moses led God's people out of disintegration.

Jonah said, "Oh come on now! Be sensible! Not Me! I'm not the type." And after a rather unexpected vacation in a fish, just thinking things over, he talked to God's people, and led them God's way.

And Zacharias said, "Oh come on now! Be sensible! Not Me! My wife and I are too old to have kids." And God said, "Oh shut up!" And he did shut up-for nine months. And John was born, and the way for the Christ was opened up.

And I heard a child say,
"I can't serve God, I'm too young."

And I heard a boy say,
"I can't serve God, I'm not good enough."

And I heard a woman say,
"I can't serve God, I'm not skilled enough."

I wonder if God ever gets any new problems.
