Do you ever feel unequal to the calling God has set in front of you? At times, all of us struggle with such feelings because certain responsibilities appear to be more than one human being is able to accomplish. We sometimes try to convince ourselves that a task is too great or that God expects too much.
When this is the case, we might be tempted to turn away from some tremendous God-given opportunities. For example, sometimes the Lord provides a situation that is just right for sharing the good news of Christ with someone else. But how often do we back off and end up missing such moments because we’re afraid we won’t know what to say?
Inadequacy grows out of fear. No matter how unqualified we feel, apprehension shouldn’t hold us back. The truth is, even if a Christian feels incapable of accomplishing some of the awesome tasks God calls him to do, the Holy Spirit is more than adequate! As believers, we do not have to possess perfect qualifications or skills; we need only be willing.
2 Timothy 1:7 tells us that God has given us a spirit of power, not one of timidity. All the believer has to do is step out in faith; the Holy Spirit’s strength and courage will be there to meet us.
Bible in One Year: Ruth 1-2
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:Do you feel overwhelmed by the task in front of you? Step out in faith—God will help you.
