Gideon didn’t feel very strong when God called him. He was hiding, uncertain, and wondering how he could make a difference. Yet God didn’t tell Gideon to wait until he felt stronger. He simply said, “Go in the strength that you have.”

Sometimes we do the same thing. We wait until we feel more confident, more prepared, or more qualified before we step out in faith. But God doesn’t need us to have it all together. He asks us to trust Him and use what He has already placed in our hands. You have not been given a spirit of timidity. In this hour it is time for the body of Christ to step up, step out, and obey God.

Your strength may not feel like enough, but when God sends you, His strength meets you along the way.

So don’t wait until you feel ready. Don’t wait until you have all the answers. Go in the strength that you have—and trust God to provide what you lack.

Today, take the next step. God is with you!
