Most people would view themselves as being reliable. But, of course, what matters is how God views us. How can you tell if God believes we have been faithful? One form of evidence is whether He gives us responsibility. There are those who see themselves as reliable, yet no one wants to entrust anything significant to them. The truth is that when we are faithful, God will give us more.
But this is the key. God never gives us responsibility without also providing us corresponding enabling. God will not set you up to fail! He does not call you to an assignment and then abandon you to your own limited resources. This is particularly important because God often calls us to do things that are impossible unless He intervenes in our lives.
At times we can be so anxious to serve Christ that we put ourselves into ministry. But that can be a frustrating way to live. It involves doing our best with our resources. When God puts us into ministry, He is the one who provides the required provisions for our success. Too many people are growing weary trying to do good things for God. They need, instead, to seek to be faithful in what God is calling them to do, and then enjoy His powerful presence helping them to succeed.
