God Can Work Through You To Do Great Things
Lord, how have you used unlikely people to do great things?
Moses pleaded with me, “O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled.” Then I asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the LORD? Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”
Exodus 4:10-12
How can you use me despite my limitations?
You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit. For I am working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases me. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.
John 15:16; Philippians 2:13; Isaiah 41:10
Lord, what can I pray when I’m ready for you to work through me?
Now all glory to you, God, who is able, through your mighty power at work within me, to accomplish infinitely more than I might ask or think. Glory to you in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever!
Ephesians 3:20-21
Don’t allow your limitations or inexperience to keep you from serving God. When you feel discouraged or inadequate, remember that God often uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. Instead of doubting God’s decision to use you, step out in faith and trust that he is able to carry out his plans through you. Find further encouragement by reading the stories of David (1 Samuel 17), Mary (Luke 1), and Gideon (Judges 6).
