HEAVEN’S HERO’S
Out of all the people on earth, who might be the stars in heaven? Bet it would surprise you – a lot.
It certainly wouldn’t be the ones earth would pay attention to. Who cares about a widow with only two cents?
Or who on earth cares about a poor shepherd boy neglected by his father and ridiculed by his own brothers?
Who cares about ordinary fishermen who are a dime a dozen in a rural peasant town?
What talent scout would ignore the richest, mightiest and most powerful to care about a race of slaves in Egypt?
Who would ever pick Gideon, the least in his father’s house, of the weakest clan in Manasseh?
To herald the long-awaited birth of the Messiah, what P.R. firm would pick shepherds sleeping out in a field?
It is true humans look on the outward appearance and our Father looks on the heart.
The mighty Jehovah says He dwells...”with him who has a contrite and humble spirit.” Isa 57:15
That eliminates many who have natural talent, and leaves those who are teachable and trusting.
Sincere people doing the right thing whether anyone sees or not – that is what attracts the Most High.
Folks of honest integrity doing the right thing – God really cares about that, it brings Him near.
Most people would desire the starring role, but God says just be faithful with whatever He gives you to do.

David, this is such a good reminder, although I'm not quite sure "Poetry" is the right place for it. More like Encouragement or Devotional/Inspirational Article (not sure what the categories are). Even so, I found the reminder an encouraging one today. One tiny critique was the word "staring" at the end. Should be "starring." Blessings, Deb
