Write this Down! with Dot Bowen

When God chooses to work through us, it’s not a reflection of how great we are, but rather how good and powerful He is. In this episode, Dot and Cara talk about the example David set for us when he prayed to God with humility and gratitude. They discuss the importance of embracing whatever calling God has given you — even if it feels small or insignificant — and Dot shares a story about the lessons she’s learned from watching cruise ships and fishing boats on the ocean.Episode Recap Start by writing down 1 Chronicles 17:19-22 (0:13) 1 and 2 Chronicles cover the same time in history as 1 and 2 Kings, but from different perspectives (2:06) David sat before God with humility (5:43) Not everyone is called to be a cruise ship, it’s often small boats that feed people (10:50) There’s a difference between doubting yourself and asking “who am I that God would use me?” (16:58) It’s not what you do, it’s the fact that God has chosen you to do it (22:10) The things that feel huge for us aren’t hard for God (24:00) David reminds us that God wants to use us, and also to give God the glory (27:19) Send us an email to let us know what you’re learning - hello@dotbowen.com Find Dot Bowen on Instagram and Facebook
