Today we had the blessing of spending time with my grandparents. They’re in there 80’s and have so many stories to share.
I love hearing there passion for God, stories from raising there kids, the challenges, the things they miss and advice for my life now. One thing my gramps of few words said, that stuck with me was, “when i was in the army as a barber and was asked to do a one time sermon then asked to be the full time minister after that by the general. He said,I’m not sure why I said yes, but I did. I would preach in front of 400 soldiers, I just know it wasn’t me, it was all God speaking through me. Because, usually I have very few words and don’t enjoy speaking to crowds. But God used me, and now I’m thankful I had that opportunity, I still can’t believe I did that!”
That made me think about life.
When you think you can’t, you can.
If God calls us to it, he will empower us and we may learn something we always have doubted in ourselves.
God knows what he’s doing.
If we feel the nudge, we can’t doubt our ability but trust God in His ability.
He may just surprise us, use us for His kingdom in ways we never would of imagined.
