When God calls you for 'impossible' things (Part 3)

Bible verse for today: Nehemiah 2:18 "I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me.

They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work" (NIV).

Every human has a dream to accomplish one thing or the other before they leave earth but the fact many of us may not live that fulfilled life due to indecision and waiting for the 'right time'.

The truth about life is that the right time to accomplish anything is now, instead of waiting for the prefect conditions so we can make that needed move.

God is waiting for our willingness to make that move before he can assist us in overcoming life's impossibilities, and it is only through him we are made perfect.

Regardless of our social status, qualification, gender, education, let us remember that God can use us to make a difference in the world.

The Word for Today devotional by United Christian Broadcasters (UCB) says:

It’s said that of all the people who have dreams, only one out of ten will fulfil theirs. Why? Because the other nine never started! To enter the Promised Land, Israel had to cross the Jordan River when it was in flood and they were afraid. But God said, ‘When you step into the water it will roll back’ (See Joshua 3). It did, and they reached their destiny. So, what are you waiting for? 1) Perfect conditions? You’ll never find them. ‘Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap’ (Ecclesiastes 11:4 NIV). The New Living Translation says, ‘If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.’ You say, ‘I’m waiting for God to move.’ Has it occurred to you that maybe He’s waiting for you to move?

2) Everybody to agree with you? When David announced his intention to fight Goliath, his older brother Eliab, a general in King Saul’s army, told him to go back home because he was embarrassing the family. But David refused to be put off or put down; instead, he went out and defeated the giant. And with God’s help you can too!

3) Until you feel ‘qualified’? God doesn’t always call the qualified, but He always qualifies the called. Regardless of your education, nationality, or gender, God can use you. Oliver Wendell Holmes started studying Greek at eighty. When a friend asked him why, he replied, ‘Frankly, it’s now or never!’ Because Nehemiah was willing to start, God gave him a glorious finish. And He will do the same for you. So what are you waiting for? Get moving!
