How to step in, even when you feel disqualified
Have you been afraid of what God is calling you to? Does it feel just too big for you?
It probably is. And you probably won’t get it right. And you’ll see failure along the way, and experience moments where you want to quit. How’s that for hope for you today?
Listen, if the call you sense in your innermost being seems just too huge for little you, can I introduce you to a few people?
-Moses
-Jonah
-Elisha
-David
-Peter
Just to name a few…
All were called
All of them were called. All of them were too small.
They each doubted at some point that they could fulfill their calling. All eventually clung to the Lord and followed His direction in some way.
They each left incredible legacy, and showed us that legacy is possible despite human frailty, when we lean into the Lord, trust His voice, and choose to step forward with courage.
We won’t get it right
We won’t get it all right – we will fail sometimes. We’ll doubt ourselves, and we will doubt God.
We’ll say the wrong thing, and avoid the right conversation.
We’ll hide. We’ll get angry.
We’ll even lament our lot In life maybe.
But if God is welling something up under the surface, if He is calling us to something bigger than ourselves, we need to answer. And He’ll help us walk it out.
Let’s not put it off anymore.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9 NIV)
