Have you ever felt like you weren’t qualified
to do a certain job? Do you ever look up and try and convince God you are not
the one for the job of parenting, being a wife, a supervisor…the list can go
on. We are not alone as you will see in what Ashley shares with us this
Faith-Filled Friday!
Good Morning, Beloveds. Come grab a warm cup of
coffee and sit with me. Thank you in advance for taking time and joining
me for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and Faith Filled Friday with Trench Classes
United.
14 But Amos replied, “I’m not a professional prophet, and I
was never trained to be one; I’m just a shepherd, and I take care of
sycamore-fig trees. 15 But the Lord called me away from my flock
and told me, ‘Go and prophesy to my people in Israel.’
We see how Amos questioned Gods choice in choosing him to
be a prophet. Amos could only see what he thought he was capable of and
couldn’t comprehend or understand why God would choose him for something he
knew nothing about. However, we see that Amos who tended the flock and the
sycamore-fig trees was chosen by God because he had faithfully performed the
present task God had called him to.
When God calls us to something new to us, out of our league so
to speak, is it really though? The enemy likes to get in between us and God and
stir the pot of doubt and insecurity, whispering to us that we aren’t qualified
to do what God has called us to.
But as you and I have been faithful to the current task God has
called us to now – being a wife, a mom, whatever it may be -- we feel qualified
and certain of what we are doing...most of the time, right? J However, when we first
started these tasks, didn’t we question Gods calling? I know I did many times.
Remember coffee hour friends, that when God calls us to
something new He doesn’t expect us to face it alone or in our own strength.
Isaiah 41:10 New Living
Translation (NLT)
10 Don’t be afraid, for I am
with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
God will give us all the necessary tools we need day by
day. Our God is ever so faithful to us. I pray that when He calls you and I out
to new scary tasks, that instead of the questions, we’d faithfully drop to our
knees and be still before our God who knows what our tomorrow brings.
Has God has called you to a new task? Can I encourage you, to
rejoice, give thanks, and trust and know he will lead the way and bless you
through this new and scary journey?
Gripped in His Grace,
Ashley
