TRLP 021 - Let's Talk About Doing What We Can as We Get Ready to Do The Thing That We Feel Called to

The Reluctant Leader Podcast with Paul Jenkins

If you're a leader like me, you can relate to the first chapter of Jeremiah.
God - yeah, THE GOD - tells Jeremiah that He's appointed him as a prophet to the nations, and reassures Jeremiah that he's been known since he was in his mother's womb.
That's a pretty strong endorsement, right? And yet, Jeremiah pushes back. He's too young. Too weak. Too...
Have you been there? Excited about being called by God, but reluctant to speak for God? If so, then I pray that you'll let this episode encourage you, because instead of coddling Jeremiah and his reluctance, God actually did quite the opposite.
He told him to get up and prepare for action.
He calls us to do the same, and He's gone ahead of us and prepared the fields for us. They are white and ready for harvest. So, let's go. Let's get up, use what we have, and do what we can while we wait for the more that we think we need. The One Who sends us knows what we need, and we can trust Him to provide it.
But we can't just sit back and wait for it. Those who are faithful with a little will be trusted with more. Let's start now, and prove that He can trust us with what comes next.
