You Are Perfectly Incapable

Has God ever asked you to do something you feel incapable of doing?

Many of us grow up believing there are three types of people: (1) Great people who do great things; (2) Average people who do average things; and (3) Below average people who do below average things.

This belief system spurs a feeling within us all: inadequacy. Inadequacy is born out of the mindset that our limited resources limit our contribution.

But then one day, we say yes to Jesus and we’re introduced to this new adventure of life in Christ. And as we’re pleasantly going about our business, one day God throws us a curveball. He asks us to do something we feel completely incapable of doing. And we’re confused. We think, Wait a minute… Why would God ask me to do something way beyond who I am? We feel paralyzed and we may even ignore the prompting, assuming it was intended for someone else. What are we so scared of?

You see, when feelings of inadequacy are intensified by a divine request, we tend to run away.

Now, you might be thinking, would God actually ask you to do something you’re incapable of doing? The answer is a categorical YES! And I’m going to prove it to you.
