Episode 3:3 When You Don’t Feel Qualified
Have you ever looked at something God has put in front of you and thought, Surely someone else could do this better than me?
In this episode, I’m talking about what we can learn from Moses when we feel inadequate, unqualified, or painfully aware of our own weaknesses. God’s answer to Moses wasn’t, “Believe in yourself.” It was, “I will be with you.”
We’ll talk about the difference between humility and unbelief, the danger of comparing our private struggles to someone else’s public obedience, and why our weakness should drive us toward dependence on God, not away from obedience.
And yes...there are also stories involving coffee, missing shoes, and me showing up at the wrong restaurant. Because apparently this is who I am. 😂
📖 Main passages:
Exodus 3:7–12; Exodus 4:10–13; Acts 7:20-25; Psalm 13:1–6; Ephesians 2:10; John 15:5; 2 Corinthians 3:5; 2 Corinthians 4:7
Food for thought:
• Where are you feeling inadequate or unqualified right now?
• Read Exodus 3:7–12, John 15:5, and 2 Corinthians 3:5. What do these passages teach you about your weakness and God’s sufficiency?
• What is one act of obedience already in front of you that you’ve hesitated to take because you don’t feel qualified?
“Don't let the awareness of our own weaknesses be louder than the awareness of God’s sufficiency.”
