God will never tell you do to something or give you a calling and then say "Good luck with that, see you later!" However that is what we think. We tell God, "I can't do what you are telling me," or "I don't have the skills nor the talent to do that," or "I've never done this before," and the list goes on and on. We are so worried about what we can't do and we don't even stop to think what God CAN do. God is not looking at your talents, knowledge or skills, He is looking at your willingness. If you are willing, He will teach you just like He taught Moses. God will not tell you to do something and then drop you, He will give you what you need when you need it. I'm not much to look at (you definitely won't see me on the cover of GQ), I don't have a soothing voice, and I don't have a lot of patience, yet God called me to teach and counsel. I fought Him on it for a while, but God being Who He is won the battle. I said "okay God, if you want me to do this, I will do what you are asking me to." God taught me, gave me the skills, showed me what to do and gave me opportunities to practice what He was teaching me. God is looking for people who are willing, regardless of their talents or lack of talents, their education or their lack of education. Be willing to do WHATEVER He asks of you...and the sky will be your limit!
Take Away: Stop looking at what you can't do...and start telling God "if you are looking for someone who is willing...here I am God!"
