September 30

Least Likely

Bible in a Year:

• Isaiah 9–10
• Ephesians 3

For the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.

Joshua 2:11

Hollywood gives us larger-than-life spies who are dashing drivers of flashy Aston-Martins and other luxury sports cars. But Jonna Mendez, a former CIA chief, paints an opposite picture of the real thing. An agent must be “the little gray man,” she says, someone nondescript, not flashy. “You want them to be forgettable.” The best agents are those least likely to appear like agents.

When two of Israel’s spies slipped into Jericho, it was Rahab who hid them from the king’s soldiers (Joshua 2:4). She was seemingly the least likely person for God to employ as an espionage agent, for she had three strikes against her: she was a Canaanite, a woman, and a prostitute. Yet Rahab had started to believe in the God of the Israelites: “Your God is God in heaven” (v. 11). She hid God’s spies under flax on the roof, assisting in their daring escape. God rewarded her faith: “Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her family” (6:25).

Sometimes we might feel we’re the least likely to be used by God. Perhaps we have physical limitations, don’t feel “flashy” enough to lead, or have a tarnished past. But history is filled with “nondescript” believers redeemed by God, people like Rahab who were given a special mission for His kingdom. Be assured: He has divine purposes for even the least likely of us. .

Reflect & Pray

In what ways do you feel “in the background”? What do you think might be the mission God has for you?

Dear God, please help me be ready for Your calling, for the mission You might have for me.

Dixie Dregs - “The Bash” (Live 1978)

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Thanks for "Dream a Little Dream of Me"! It's such a wonderful love song with a great tune.

I had NO IDEA it was written and performed in the early 30s and that it was a Depression Era classic. I always thought it was composed by the Mamas and the Papas. I also didn't know so many other famous singers covered it:

“Dream a Little Dream of Me” was recorded in 1931 by Ozzie Nelson and it became a classic of depression-era America. Since covered by Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day, and Louis Armstrong with Ella Fitzgerald.

The Mamas & Papas chose to record the song with “Mama” Cass Elliot on lead vocals, and it became her signature song, and she performed it with The Mamas & The Papas and as a solo artist until her death in 1974.

Here's the first recording by Ozzie Nelson. Both the Nelson and Leighton orchestra versions are great.

[Golden Eagle]

Just heard this as background music on a new ad on ESPN for the NFL game set for Sunday morning from England.

Immediately struck a bell as it was the first song I was able to play on guitar that actually sounded like the album LOL. I had the Def Leppard songbook with the “tabs” descriptions, and actually found many of their songs relatively easy to play, compared to other bands, while still sounding killer.

Hopefully some others remember this one as well.

Honorable Mention!!

The Darlings - “Dooley“

[Fiji Hill]

Ozzie Nelson may have the first to wax "Dream a Little Dream of Me," but Wayne King's version was the bestseller. I had a battered 78 rpm copy of it and spent years trying in vain to find a clean one. Even though the song went to #1, it was hard to find, and I never found a clean copy until Youtube came along.

Teddy Raph also did a fine version that I really like. By the way, "Chester Leighton" is actually the band leader Fred Rich recording under a pseudonym.
