One of the easiest traps to fall into as believers is thinking that we need something more before God can use us.
We tell ourselves that when we know more, have more time, have more confidence, or have a different opportunity, then weโll step into what God has called us to do. But throughout Scripture, God repeatedly works through ordinary people who simply choose to surrender what is already in their hands.
The Lord has a way of taking things that seem small and using them for eternal purposes. A testimony becomes an encouragement. A simple act of obedience becomes the answer to someoneโs prayer. A step of faith opens a door that fear would have kept shut.
At the same time, faith requires us to see differently. Many of the battles Godโs people faced looked impossible in the natural. The obstacle seemed larger than the promise. Yet the people who experienced breakthrough were the ones who learned to trust Godโs Word more than what they saw with their eyes.
As you watch THIS MESSAGE, take a moment to ask the Lord two simple questions: - What have You already placed in my hands?
- Where have I allowed fear to keep me from using it?
God has not called us to live intimidated by the size of the challenge before us. He has called us to walk by faith, trust His promises, and faithfully steward what He has already given.
Sometimes the breakthrough we are waiting for begins with using what is already in our hands.
