The Truth About Being Prepared

We might talk ourselves out of sharing about Jesus with others because we feel like we are unqualified. The enemy tries to make us feel like we can’t pour into others because we aren’t close enough to God ourselves. In these moments, we have to remind ourselves that being a Christian is not about trying to live for God on our own strength, it’s about letting him live through us. Meaning that God never intended for us to enter the narrow gate alone (Matthew 7:14). Instead, he desires to walk alongside us and give us the wisdom necessary to complete the plans he has for us. After Jesus ascended into heaven, God sent us the Holy Spirit as a gift for us to depend on! Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, meaning that God’s spirit is always with you and will fill you with the right words to say when the time comes.

The bottom line is that we need to step aside and let God use us. Stop getting in your own way by trying so hard to be perfect and righteous all by yourself. Instead, lean on Christ and let him use your imperfections for his glory!

Pray: Ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit so that you may be equipped for every good work that he asks of you.

Challenge: Read Jeremiah chapter 1 and see firsthand how God can equip someone who feels like they aren’t qualified to be used by God.
