Moses is one of the most remarkable leaders in the Bible, but when God first called him, he didn’t feel up to the task. He had a past he wasn’t proud of, he doubted his abilities, and he didn’t think he was the right person for the job.
I’ve felt that way too. After my divorce, I questioned whether I could still serve in ministry. I wondered if God could use someone who had failed so publicly. Every time I thought about stepping back into leadership, a little voice whispered, “Who do you think you are?”
Moses asked the same question: “Who am I?” But God’s response changed everything: “I will be with you.” (Exodus 3:12) God wasn’t focused on Moses’ qualifications. He was focused on His own power and presence.
That truth gave me the courage to step forward again. God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. Like Moses, we might feel inadequate, but our confidence doesn’t come from who we are, it comes from who God is.
If you’re feeling unworthy of God’s calling, remember this: He’s not asking you to do it alone. He’s with you, equipping you for the task He’s set before you.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for calling me, even when I feel inadequate. Remind me that my strength comes from You, not from myself. Help me to trust Your presence and step forward in faith. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
