Phil. 4:13 “In Christ who is the source of my strength, I have strength for everything.”

Generally speaking, God calls us to step out and do things we don’t feel qualified to do. Why? So that we’ll learn to lean more on Him. “Does that mean I won’t make mistakes?” No, it means you probably will. But instead of being discouraged you’ll accept them as part of the learning curve and go on to greater things! Often we look at a task and think, “There’s no way I can do this.” Hey, you’re looking through the wrong end of the telescope! You’re looking at yourself instead of God!

When God called Joshua to take the place of Moses, He promised him: “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you” (Jos 1:5). Now if God promises to be with you (and He does), that’s all you need! His strength is best shown through your weakness (see 2 Co 12:9).

Whatever ingredients are lacking in the natural realm, you can withdraw from your account in the spiritual realm. Listen: “Draw your strength from the Lord and His mighty power” (Eph 6:10). What kind of might? “Boundless might!” Where do you draw it from? The ultimate source – God!

Christ empowers and equips you as you fellowship with Him, so stop selling yourself short! Armed with His might you have more capabilities than you think, and you’re able to do a lot more than you’ve done in the past. So today, put your confidence in God and stop doubting yourself!
