Are You Qualified?

My pastor has often said that God doesn’t always call the qualified—He qualifies the called. This is reassuring during those times when feeling overwhelmed and overcome by life’s challenges. So often, we look for other people to validate our worth, when in reality, it is God who validates us completely.

One great example can be found in Exodus 3 – 4:17, when Moses was called to lead the Israelites out of their bondage in Egypt. Moses expressed great reservation about being called to such an important role. He offered God quite a few excuses to get out of it. But in spite of all his protests, God saw it fit to have Moses lead the Israelites to the promised land.

At various points in your life, you may feel unqualified to take on the task before you. And while it may seem that there are many factors working against you, always remember that God is on your side. He knows what you are capable of, and more importantly, He can equip you with what you need to get the job done.

I’m confident in knowing that I’m qualified—and can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
