Maybe you understand
all too well Jeremiah’s lament. Maybe
you too have been given a task to do by the Lord and all you can see is your
inadequacies. Maybe you too have argued
with the Lord and expressed why you can’t do what He has given you to do. Or, maybe others have so convinced you of how
inadequate you are that you don’t see yourself as being able to serve the Lord
beyond your comfort zone.
Hear what the Lord is
saying to you today. No matter what you,
or others, may think about you, you ARE able to do what God is sending you to
do. The Lord doesn’t not send His
children out on their own to sink or swim.
He goes with them to take care of them as they go. The Lord is with us to show us exactly what
to do and how to do it. He is with us to
strengthen us for the task set before us.
He is with us to calm our fears as we step out in faith. He is there to empower us to so that we don’t
quit because of the people who may oppose us.
He is there to give us all the resources of heaven to use as we obey
Him. There is no excuse for not doing
what the Lord gives us to do.
The Lord told Jeremiah
you MUST go. Jeremiah wasn’t told
wherever he was to go or whatever he was to say; he was just told he must
go. It’s not for us to decide the task
or the details. We are just to
obey. Now, we do have the option of not
obeying, but as Jonah found out when he tried to not go and obey, the
consequences aren’t so good. God never
sends us out without a purpose or a plan on how to complete the task He sets
before us.
When we obey the Lord
it is good for our souls and good for those we are sent to. Don’t resist God’s will for you. Trust and obey Him. He will go with you and help you each step of
the way to complete His will for your life.
