The Decision To Follow God's Light Irrespective Of Challenges.
What you have might not be enough to you, but trust me, it's enough for God.
What you have, what you are, might not seem enough or sufficient for you, but it's more than enough for God.
In Exodus 4,
God was commissioning Moses to go deliver the people of Israel, but Moses was debating with God, actually telling God how he was incapable of doing the job, of how he was not eloquent, he was a stammerer. And he was telling God of all the other people that might have a better time at doing that job than he was.
And sometimes when I read that portion of scripture, I'm almost about to shout at Moses,
Moses, what are you doing? God is telling you that you can do this. And you're telling yourself that you can't.
But then I pause because I think, how many times have I said that to myself? How many times have I had that nudge in my spirit that there is something that I've been called to do?
But I find a way to convince myself. I convince myself that I can't do it and there are other people that are better off at doing it than I am. So when that happens, I calm down. I'm like, okay, I understand. And trust me, I know that is a reality for most of us.
You see, the truth is that sometimes it's not people that are working hard to tear us down or pull us down. We are the ones doing that ourselves in our minds. We're convincing ourselves as to how terrible we are and how incapable we are. Whereas God is saying that you also fear God. You fear God, but you are telling yourself that you are not.
And as much as the word of God is very powerful, but the words that you say to yourself is equally as powerful because God might have an opinion of you. And if you don't have that opinion of yourself, you would never walk in the reality of what God says about you.
So what is your decision going to be?
Are you going to uphold those negative thoughts and opinions about yourself? Or are you going to embrace the truth of what God has made you to be and start working in the light of that?
