Throughout the history of humanity, God had never used anybody whom He had not Himself prepared for His work.
Abraham had to depart from the familiar environment of his kinsmen to a place he had no idea of until God’s intended program was finally done in his life (Genesis 12-25).
Jacob, whose name was to be changed to Israel (nation) passed through God’s pruning sessions until God’s will was settled in his life (Genesis 25-36).
Joseph, whose destiny was thought to have been barred, passed through seeming endless trials until God’s time proved him appropriate for divine assignment (Genesis 30-50).
Moses, who was trained to be an Egyptian intellectual expert in many areas, was denied that worldly advantage because God was aiming at making him great by His Power; he came to a lowly position of a servant/shepherd until he became instrumental to the deliverance of his people from bondage. (From Exodus through Deuteronomy).
Daniel was among the captives taken to Babylon where his commitment to God was tried and God honored His Name through his testimonies (The Book of Daniel).
The list of these Bible characters is inexhaustible! You may wish to explore more for your personal encouragement.
