Have you ever felt like God has called you to do
something for Him? It could be something like witness to someone or even step
into a certain career path. As soon as you felt the Lord speak to you,
excitement filled your heart and mind. Shortly after the burst of excitement
you started doubting yourself and soon you allowed insecurities, shame and past
failures to talk you out of what God laid on your heart.
I'm reminded of the story of
Moses in the Bible. We find Moses tending to another man's sheep in Exodus 3.
He was on the back side of the desert when the Lord spoke to him through a
burning bush. The Lord found Moses to be faithful, watching and leading another
man's sheep, and now wanted to promote him to lead His flock to the Promise
Land and out of bondage.
We find Moses in Exodus 3 having
a conversation with the Lord that many of us have had in the past. The Lord
plainly explains to Moses what is on His heart and what He is calling him to
do. Exodus 3:7-8 says, "The Lord said, 'I have surely seen the
affliction of My people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry on account of
their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. Therefore, I have come down to
deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that
land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey.'"
Remember, God doesn't call the qualified; He
qualifies the called! You are just whom the Lord is looking for to do His next
grand adventure! Many lives can and will be changed for the kingdom of God with
a simple yes in your spirit. Remember, you may feel unworthy but you're called!
Now go make a difference in the world for Jesus!
