Morning Glory

I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:4-9

I don't know about you, but I oftentimes feel completely unqualified for the tasks set before me. I tend to doubt myself, and I fear that I will fail and look foolish. The apostle Paul's words in these verses resets my thinking. I have been given the gifts, the knowledge and the strength to do whatever I've been called to do. I can no longer use the fear and doubt as an excuse, which in itself is scary enough, because now I have to doit. But even in that, He is faithful! He has made me strong and has promised to walk this out with me. Now, to just take that first step.
