OK, I've been afraid. I admit it. I've been running away from what I'm called to do. You know when you have been told to do something, but you don't feel like you are qualified to do it or you don't have what it takes to get the job done? That is how I have been feeling. I was thinking about Moses the other day and how God showed him the burning bush and spoke to him and told him to go and free his people. You know what Moses did? He told GOD that he can't speak well so send someone else. He said this to God! God chose him because He knew He had created Moses for this task but Moses didn't know this. God also promised to be with him wherever he went. Yes, this was no small thing going before Pharaoh and saying Let my people go. I can understand Moses' fear.
I'm realizing in my life that some of the things that God tells me to do will not be a small thing and may look scary, but God knows what He has created me for. I don't. He promised me that He will be with me always, so I have to stop using the excuses of: "I can't talk." "They sing better than me." "I'm not that intelligent." "I'm not beautiful." "I can't talk to them because they have more money than I do." "If I said this, they are going to think I'm crazy." (These are just some of the things that run through my mind.)
I know that Satan is trying to hold me back by using the fear tactic. He knows my Father's plans to and how amazing they are. Psalm 33 says that God has a purpose for our lives and it stands forever. Do you believe that? I had to grow in believing this.
I just came back from San Antonio, TX. I went to a conference called World Discipleship Conference. It was AMAZING! From the lessons, the theme that stood out to me was it is time for me to do what I was created to do and stop living in fear but to live in faith. God is with me. He is before me. He has qualified me and called me and my hope is in Him and He will not disappoint me or allow me to be put to shame.
THIS JOURNEY IS ABOUT TO GET EVEN MORE EXCITING!
