Half of Jacob's sons were born to a wife (Leah) that he had no intention or knowledge of marrying. Among those sons was Levi from which tribe all priests would eventually come. Also, Judah from which tribe the Lord Jesus would one day decend!
I Cor. 1:26-29 is a passage about those who God uses to bring about His will.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 (KJV)

“If God needs man’s wisdom and glory,” says Paul, “then why did He ever call you?” There were not many mighty people in the church at Corinth, not many nobles or worldly-wise people. But God still saved them! In fact, God deliberately hides His truth from “the wise and prudent” and reveals Himself to the humble. Reflect on the history of the Bible and recall how God called the “nobodies” of history, making great leaders out of them—Abraham, Moses, Gideon, David, etc.

From: Wiersbe's Expository Outlines on the New Testament

Looks like anyone that is willing to submit to God is likely to be used to bring Him glory. What an honor!
