Throughout Bible history God has chosen individuals to do His work. To perform His tasks.  When He does this, He doesn’t ask for resumes. He doesn’t ask how prepared you think you are. He doesn’t care about perceived obstacles.  He just says to get it done.

If God has called you (and he has) what provision has God given to make up for all of our perceived deficiencies? We all need help from time to time.  Right?

He’s given us each other.  For Moses it was someone to help him speak (Exodus 4:14).  Paul paired up. The disciples were paired up on the limited commission, etc.

He’s given us himself.  He’s always been with and helped his people.  In Matthew 28:20 he tells us he will always be with us.  He promised to be with Joshua in Joshua 1:5 “There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”  Paul knew the Lord was with him when he told Timothy  “Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.” (II Timothy 4:17)

My favorite instance is from II Kings 6:16-17 “And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.”

Who will go when the Lord calls?  Maybe you think you aren’t qualified.  Maybe you think you’ll fail.  Maybe you think you’ll just foul it all up.  I assure that by yourself all of these things are true.  But because of God’s provisions (each other, God himself) we can all simply say, “Send me” and be successful at whatever God has appointed us to do.
