I can’t tabulate the numerous times I have gone through life thinking ‘if only I had.’ ‘If only I had help,’ ‘if only I had a friend,’ ‘if only I had a better brain.’ It took me 22 years to realize that all this time, I had everything I needed because I had God.
The story highlighted in Joshua chapter 1 has really given me some perspective. Moses had died and God was now handing over the mantle to Joshua. If we look further, we see that God gave him specific instructions and encouragement that answered the queries he would have fo the assignment.
In the very same way, God grooms us for every assignment he will ever give. When he gives us an instruction, it is an indication that we have all the tools needed to complete the task.
As we joyfully welcome the new year, let us not forget, that God has given us everything we need to be victors. We must never forget, that though we are sent, that God is always with us.
Go write that book, work on that song, serve in that minsitry, start living in forgiveness, start living in love, start becoming better versions of our yesterday selves, everyday. This year may not be easy, but it will definitely be victorious and God will get the Glory. Take up the mantle that God has called you to carry, knowing that with God, you too, HAVE IT ALL.
