Prayer
Father, I come to worship you in my giving.
I acknowledge your blessing IN my life
And your care OF my life.
This is my offering. These are my tithes.
I give today because I trust you completely
With all of my life.
May you supply all my needs
In the days that are ahead.
And may you use my gift to build your Kingdom
And supply the needs of your church.
Amen.
when God wants to do something new in our lives, when He calls to us, it’s not to stare at our navel for the rest of our lives but it’s to join Him on mission. He wants us to be a part of what He is doing in the world.
God is calling all of us to something. What’s He calling you to?
When God sends us…
He STARTS where we are.
Exodus 3:9-12 NLT
He doesn’t answer who Moses is. God tells Moses who He is. Many of us have discounted what God could do through us because of our past and mistakes we've made. Like it’s all about who we are or what we’ve done. It’s not. It’s about who God is. And God says I am with you. When we understand who is with us, it gives us a certain confidence to do things that we wouldn't do otherwise.
It doesn't matter where you are when you know who you're with.
When God sends us…
He STARTS where we are.
He’s USES what we have.
Exodus 4:2-5 NLT
What is in your hand? When God sends you, He’s going to take that ordinary thing in your hand and he's going to do extraordinary things through it.
Whatever you have, that's the thing God uses. What do you have in your hand?
When God sends us…
He STARTS where we are.
He’s USES what we have.
He says DO what I ASK.
Exodus 4:10-12 NLT
I’ve come to believe that if you wait for the perfect conditions to do what God calls you to do, you’ll never do it. The enemy can always make sure the conditions aren’t right.
God didn’t say do it because the circumstances are right. You do it because you trust me. You do it because you believe in me.
God is waiting on you to just start where you are with what you have in your hand and do what He’s asked you do in faith, trusting that the one who called you will be faithful to supply all that you need to do what He is calling you to do NOW.
Before God can use us, He has to make us usable. He doesn’t do that when we’re standing on the sidelines. He does that on the journey. On the trip. When you step out. When you get moving. He does that as we take one step at a time in obedience toward what He’s calling us to do. Many of us sit here thinking we need to be more training, more knowledge before we go but many of us are trained and educated far beyond our level of obedience.
What step is God asking you to take.
