Your Availability Matters
(Adapted from Fear Not! A Journey from Fear to Freedom devotional)
Has the Lord asked you to step up and take on something that feels uncomfortable or perhaps monumental? [Consider this], God did not set Mary [the mother of Jesus] up for failure [when she was impregnated with Jesus], nor is He setting you up for failure either. God’s not looking for your ability; He is looking for your availability.
Now, you may ask yourself, Who Am I? I’m so glad you asked because the Bible reminds us, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10 NKJV).
So, understand that whatever you offer to God—no matter how insignificant in your eyes—will grow exponentially to meet His purposes. Just surrender and offer.
Prayer: Lord, help me not to fear any assignment from You. I can do all things through You, so what have I to fear? May my response to Your question always be like Mary’s: I am the Lord’s servant. In Jesus name, Amen.
