There’s an old saying we’ve heard our whole lives, but rarely slow down to examine:
“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.”
It was about gratitude, trust, and response. It’s given to be received. Yet most people don’t miss their calling because they refuse it.
They miss it because they analyze it to death.
Instead of stepping forward, they start asking:
- Am I ready?
- Am I qualified?
- Why me?
- Is this really from God?
And while they’re questioning… the moment passes.
Here’s the truth we don’t like admitting:
God often places responsibility in our hands before we feel confident, clear, or complete.
Not because we’re impressive—but because we’re entrusted.
Gifts don’t arrive finished.
They arrive to grow us.
They come with resistance.
They require stewardship.
They demand faithfulness.
And when we hesitate long enough, it’s not wisdom holding us back—it’s fear dressed up as discernment.
Legacy isn’t built by those who wait for perfect conditions. It’s built by those who say: “Thank you. I’ll take responsibility from here.”
So let me ask you plainly:
👉What has been placed in your hands right now that you keep inspecting instead of stewarding?
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Step into it.
