But rest assured God is working in you and you are enough just as you are. Sometimes acting in faith may come naturally for us and other times we may need to borrow our neighbors' faith like the widow borrowed her neighbor’s vessels. It may not look like you thought, but God can use you as you are to fulfill His great purposes. We can rely on Him to give us what we can not produce on our own ( Galatians 5:22).įriend, you have everything you need to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. His work through us gives meaning to the mundane and confidence to our call.

In 2 Kings 4, we meet a woman who also felt like she had little to offer. ![]() We wonder if our everyday acts of obedience matter at all. We feel inadequate and insecure about our capabilities and gifts. Even as Christians who know our identity in Christ, it is hard to live like it’s true. ![]() Today’s Bible Verse - “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.” Ephesians 3:20 (ESV)ĭo you ever wonder if who you are and what you have to offer is enough?
