How often does God call us to do a task and we feel unequipped? In Hebrews 13:21 it says “He will equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
God has asked me to take on tasks which I felt I was not prepared for, inadequate to fulfill. I knew without Him I would fail. I would ask Him for courage, strength, understanding, knowledge, an absence of fear to be able to do what He called me to do. But I realized in actuality I was going to complete the task on His strength, with the tools – courage, knowledge, no fear – He has given me. God equipped Moses with Aaron (an unlikely tool) when Moses was not confident in his speech (Exodus 4:10). God gave Esther courage when she had to go before the king and speak for her people. Jesus gave his disciples a great amount of knowledge to be fishers of men.In Philippians 2:13 Paul writes “for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.” Remember whatever task God has laid before you He will be with you in ALL THE THINGS to fulfill it. He will give you the tools, the courage, the people to surround you and help you – He will equip you to do the task He has laid out before you.
