“Do You Ever Feel Inadequate”
Be honest…. Have you ever felt you were inadequate for the position you are in? Maybe you feel like you are in a little over your head? There are probably times we all have felt that to some degree. Don’t fret because we are in good company.
Moses felt like that. He told God that He made a mistake by choosing him to lead Israel.
Exodus 3:11 {NIV)
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
We might not be asked to lead a nation; however, we can be put into a position where we might feel over-whelmed. It might be a position at work that you feel that you aren’t ready for. It might be you are a new spouse or new parent. It could even be you are leading your first bible study. You could name a number of things that could make you feel this.
Well, God had a reply for Moses, and it is a great reply for us. In Exodus 3:12, God answered Moses.
Exodus 3:12 (NIV)
12 And God said, “I will be with you.
As a believer, God is with us to lead us and strengthen us. When we trust in God and walk in faith, then God will put steel in our backbone, and He will provide all we need each and every day. With God watching over you, there is nothing you can’t do, plus He is there to make sure you can do it.
I have posted before that when I worked. I worked for God. He provided me with my job. I knew that if God provided me with my position, then He was going to give me everything I needed to do my job.
He will be with you.
Great reminder
