Exodus 4:11-12
The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD ?
Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."

You know what's funny about man? We tend to reason out to God with our incapabilities. God makes us able to do all things that He wants and wills for us to do. What's cool about God is, sometimes He works in really funny ways. We think to ourselves "I can't teach" but yet, God calls me to be a teacher. Some people are called to help clean, but they think they have no gifting with cleaning at all. God works in mysterious ways and we need to acknowledge that God will make us able to do things that we think we can't do. Just like what God said to Moses "Who gave man his mouth?" and same with what God told Job "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?", we cannot belittle what God can do in our lives. We say it's impossible, but God says, "Nothing is impossible with me!"

How foolish am I to question God about things that I think I cannot do. Sometimes life gets very overwhelming that I think to myself that I cannot do all of these. Yet, he has given me an enormous amount of strength that I don't know how it came about. Truly, I cannot belittle or look down on what God can do in my life. If God calls me for something big, I must be able to say YES to it even if I know I am not physically able to do it. I know He will enable me! No more excuses. Move up as if you got the power, because really... YOU DO in Christ!

Lord, you are so wonderful. I'm sorry if I have looked down on myself and became too hard on myself with a lot of things. Please help me to push up more with my life through the strength that you are going to give me. I want to be a true follower of your Son Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, please guide me and lead me to where our Father wants me to go. I only want to follow your Son all the days of my life. Amen!
