You don’t need to be able…

Yes, you heard/read me right.

I’ve noticed that a lot of us spend time talking about how “un-able” we are…thinking that that is what matters to God. The fact is: God is able*… and that is all that matters. He does not need us to be able - in fact He intentionally looks out for those who are "unable."

God only needs us to be “available” for His use. The Bible is full of examples of people who were not able and only did great things because they were available for God’s use.**

As we celebrate Pastor's Appreciation month, as Mrs Pastor, let’s focus on being available so that when the Lord asks (more of us), we can always say: “Here I am, send me.”***

*2 Cor 9:8 - And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. (Amplified)

Eph 3: 20 - Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. (NLT)

** 1 Cor 1: 26-29 -  For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;  and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. (NKJV)
