Give God Something to Work With

"Now go! I will help you to speak, and I will tell you what to say." Exodus 4 verse 12

God can only work with what you give Him. In this scripture above, God was talking to Moses, telling Him to Go, and promising to help him speak. All Moses needed was to Go! Reading this verse made me understand much more what my Pastor always says that you need to give God something to work with.

If you want to get people saved, you have to go on evangelism. Yes, you might be shy and not know what to say but if you go and open your mouth to talk, trusting God, I believe God will do the rest. If Moses never went to Pharaoh to tell him what God said, the Israelites would never have been free. He didn't look like it. He didn't talk like it. But God told him to go anyway. God was saying just give me something to work with.

Sometimes, we think God needs a lot from us before we set out. We give excuses and never end up doing it. God told Jeremiah that all He needed from him was to tell His people everything He told him and go everywhere He sent him. All God needed was an intermediary between Him and His people.

Several other examples across the Bible have launched out based on God's instructions despite not knowing how it will work or the outcome they will get. But we read about the mighty act God wrought through them because they gave God something to work with.

Jesus told Peter to throw in his net again for a catch. Peter did it doubting anything will happen. But he caught a mighty catch because he threw in his net. Today's lesson is that we might not have the whole picture. We might not have it all figured out at first, but we can still throw in our net.

Learning a skill can also be giving God something to work with in terms of your career. Sowing a seed is giving God something to work with as He pours out His blessing on your finances. Attending church service regularly is giving God something to work with; He can easily send a message to you through your Pastor's sermon.

Think about the many things you can give God something to work with. Flip through your journal. Is there a pending instruction? Is there something you can start working on now? God is waiting for your side of the story. Give Him something He can work with.

SAY AFTER ME: From today, I don't hesitate to God's will. I partner with God and contribute to His work here on earth, in Jesus' Name
