Bible in a Year : Song of Songs 45; Galatians 3
[Noah] walked faithfully with God. Genesis 6:9
A technology-consulting firm hired me after college although I couldnt write a line of computer code and had very little business knowledge. During the interview process for my entry-level position, I learned that the company did not place high value on work experience. Instead, personal qualities such as the ability to solve problems creatively, exercise good judgment, and work well with a team were more important. The company assumed new workers could be taught the necessary skills as long as they were the kind of people the company was looking for.
Noah didnt have the right resume for the job of constructing the arkhe wasnt a boat builder or even a carpenter. Noah was a farmer, a man comfortable with dirt on his shirt and a plow in his hands. Yet as God decided how to deal with the evil in the world at that time, Noah stood out because he walked faithfully with God (Genesis 6:9). God valued the teachableness of Noahs heartthe strength to resist the corruption around him and to do what was right.
When opportunities to serve God come our way, we may not feel qualified for the work. Thankfully, God is not necessarily concerned with our skill set. He prizes our character, love for Him, and willingness to trust Him. When these qualities are being developed inside us by the Spirit, He can use us in big or small ways to accomplish His will on earth.
What character qualities do you need God to develop in you? Why is your character so important to God?
Dear God, give me a heart thats willing to serve You in any way. Equip me in the areas where I lack experience, and fill me with Your Spirit.
Thanks, unique, for the road trippers!
