Romans 3:23 ” For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Charles Spurgeon wrote, “God uses people who fail – because there are not any other kind around.” And we can see this throughout the Bible…great men that failed miserably but were still used mightily by God. Men like Moses who was a murderer, David who was an adulterer, Jonah who flat refused to obey God’s commands, Matthew who was a turn-coat tax collector, extorting money from his fellow Jews for the Roman Empire, and then we have Paul who was one of the early Church’s most ardent persecutors. They were all unrighteous and fallen men…or as Psalm 14:3 concludes, “There is no one who does good, not even one.” But this still didn’t stop God from using them for His glory. So remember this… regardless of your sketchy background…regardless of how many times you’ve messed up in the past…God can still use you.
