The Lord speaks to us through Paul, saying, “For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.” [2]
“In accordance with the faith God has distributed to you!” Both Moses and Jeremiah had faith in God but had serious doubts about themselves. God helped their faith by assuring them that He would help and resource them.
When Jesus called His disciples to serve Him, it was a call to training. He walked with them. He taught them. He showed them how to serve people. He did miracles to boost their confidence in His ability.
Jesus Christ has authority over heaven and earth. He does amazing things as we yield our lives to Him. As we trust that nothing is impossible for God! As we believe in our hearts and profess with our mouths that He is Lord.
What things move you to tears, frustration, anger? For example, if injustice moves you time and time again then that is a clue that maybe you are called to be a voice in the justice arena, maybe in speaking up for those who are downtrodden, or in speaking words of life and encouragement into them. Who do you find yourself praying for the most?
Our Lord Jesus is faithful to increase our sphere of influence when we serve Him faithfully. “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter the joy of your Lord.’” [3]
