The focus of our service for God can never be on us. It is never about us. When God asks us to do something, it is always about Him. It is His assignment, His provision, and His glory.
Yet when God gives us a task, we have a troubling tendency to talk more about ourselves than about the God who commissioned us. We immediately begin evaluating our strengths and weakness. We worry about the opposition. We fret about adequate resources. We anticipate people’s objections and criticisms. Our mind can review a thousand reasons why it will be difficult to impossible to do what God just said.
It is at this critical juncture in our life that our future spiritual growth and victory hinges. There are watershed moments in every Christian’s life where they either trust God and take a huge leap forward in their spiritual growth, or they wallow in worry and excuses and never experience what God intended to do in their life.
Has God been speaking to you about something? Are you trusting Him? Are you moving forward?
