Sometimes we assume that God won’t have us do anything significant and that He’ll leave the major work for the really talented people. But God’s power is limitless, and when He appoints, He equips us by the power of His Spirit, especially if we think we are not capable. For ultimately, it is God working through us that accomplishes what He desires for us so that His glory is revealed in our lives.Lord, thank You for making me a part of Your kingdom. I feel inadequate to do the things that You have called me to do. So I trust in Your power to carry me through the work that is before me. Strengthen me and use me for Your kingdom’s sake, so that Your glory may be made known in all that I do. In Jesus’ name, amen.

... Read moreIn the journey of faith, it's common to underestimate the potential God sees in us. The belief that only the exceptionally talented can make an impact often limits what we are willing to pursue. Yet, scriptures like Ephesians 3:20 remind us that God exceeds our expectations and capabilities. This verse encourages us not to rely solely on our abilities but rather to embrace the divine power at work within us. When we recognize that God works through us, we can approach our challenges with renewed confidence and purpose. Each of us has a unique role in advancing God's kingdom, and often, our perceived weaknesses become our greatest strengths when we rely on His guidance. It's essential to gather strength from prayer and scripture, asking God to direct our paths and fortify our spirits. Moreover, engaging with a community of believers can boost our courage. Sharing our struggles and triumphs with others reinforces that we’re not alone in our missions. As we support each other in faith, we can inspire one another to act boldly in our callings. Remember, every small act of service contributes to a larger narrative of divine purpose. Trust in God's timing—great things often take time to unfold. Faithfully pursue what He has laid on your heart, confidently knowing that He equips those He calls. Thus, may we all strive to reflect His glory in our lives, fulfilling our mission with vigor and joy. Each step of faith we take is a testament to His strength. May we continually remind ourselves of the truth that God’s power is not limited by our perceptions of capability.

I understand that everyone is angry about a lot of things right now, and that’s totally understandable. But that doesn’t mean we have to be so quick to assume that someone’s intentions were bad. People make mistakes, and sometimes it’s because we don’t have all the information. #xyzbca #wlw
