I used to say this all the time but I am trying to trust God and rely on my faith more. BUT, I still doubt because I am human. I try to catch myself sooner and say, "I trust You, God!" As I prepare for some upcoming ministry things I find myself doubting. I am doubting myself but that is really doubting God. The truth is I am not good enough nor will I be doing it, God will. It's God, not me!
Through the years I have related to Moses not wanting to speak. I didn't stutter but it was my greatest fear. I laugh thinking of what a sense of humor God has! Moses was not eloquent. I am sure people made him think he was not good enough. Romans 3: 10, "There is no one righteous, not even one" Romans 3: 12, "All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." God's grace covers our inability to be good enough. David was anointed to be the future king of Israel, even though he was discounted by his family.
God used people in the Bible that had some real issues. Moses stuttered. Rahab was a prostitute. Elijah was suicidal. Joseph was abused. Job went bankrupt. Gideon was afraid. Samson was a womanizer. Abraham was old. David committed adultery and murder. The woman at the well had multiple failed marriages and lived with a man who was not her husband. Mary Magdalene had been possessed by seven demons and the list goes on because no one is perfect. God can redeem us. It is not about who I am it is about Who He is!
