I'm Not Ready!

From: Today God Is First - Os Hillman Ministries

2 Cor 12:9 "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness'"

If there is one thing that is consistent throughout Scripture, it is this: God calls people when they are not ready. God will never call you into service when you think you are ready. This is intentional on God's part.

When God calls, you will most likely be in the most unlikely circumstances to receive that call. You will be in the midst of a crisis, you will lack resources, you will not have the skills you think you need. This too is the way of God.

God does this because He wants you to know your call is only based on His ability, not yours. When you think it is based on you, this is a false humility. And, it is unbelief and disobedience on your part.

Has God called you to something you have failed to do because you felt you were not ready? Trust the Lord and let Him accomplish great things through you.
