Only one!

“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none” (Ez 22:30).

Only one man would be sufficient to preserve the city. We tend to think that it takes a lot of people to make a difference, but the Word of God reveals, time after time, the importance of the individual. Or rather, it reveals the wonders that God can accomplish even with only one instrument. The power is always His.

Who am I? No one important! What am I? Nothing! But if I am willing to serve as a stopgap in the hedge, God can be glorified — even if I’m alone. All it takes is one person willing to be used by God.
