fears as I think about leaving for
the World Race in January is…am I
good enough? Do I know the Bible well
enough? Am I a good enough speaker?
Am I a good enough teacher? The list
goes on,… as I look at what I wrote, I said “I” 8xs.
I know I’m not good
enough and that’s ok because what I’ve come to realize is it’s not about my abilities.
It’s about God’s power and authority.
2 Corinthians 3:4-6
Such confidence as
this is ours through Christ before God. Not
that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for
ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as
ministers of a new covenant-not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter
kills, but the Spirit gives life.
I’m not a good public speaker, writer, singer, musician, dancer,… but
God already knows that and He can use my fears and weaknesses for His glory.
It’s humbling knowing that it’s not what I’m able to accomplish, but what the
God of the Universe can accomplish through me!
1 Corinthians 2:1-5
When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence
or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to
you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I
was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.
My message and my preaching were not with wise
and persuasive words, but with a
demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.
May God be glorified!
