Equipped Ability


Have you ignored it? Have you put it off? That’s God’s voice calling you to do His good work.

May’s Awakening, Day 21

The Lord doesn’t ask about your ability, only your availability; and, if you prove your dependability, the Lord will increase your capability.

God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called.

No man was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

 —Calvin Coolidge 



Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20–21 NIV 



            From the foundation of time, God has prepared good works for you to do. Furthermore, God will thoroughly equip you with everything necessary to complete those good works in exemplary fashion. It is His pleasing will to do so and nothing will circumvent that—nothing, that is, except for you. You must make yourself available to do what God has prepared for you and called you to do. It is easy to make excuses and say, “No, I don’t have the time, I don’t have the ability, and I don’t have the resources to do that.” Well, God certainly has chosen you to do that and I don’t think His choice was in error. He will allow you to redeem the time, equip every ability needed, and provide every resource required. He just needs a “yes, Lord” from you. Don’t ignore the voice and call of God in your life to step out and do His good work.
