The under laying reason that I (and many people) want to understand more before I step out in obedience, boils down to a lack of trust. Lack of faith. I tend to be like Moses in doubting why God would choose to use me. I am so inadequate and I know what I cannot do. But, even those doubts are actually a lack of faith in God.
The truth is, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,’
declares the Lord.” (Isaiah 55:8) God knows that I am inadequate on my own. He knows that He will have to supply all that is needed to accomplish what
He wants done. God knows that what He wants me and you to do, is way beyond our
ability to do on our own. Because, Philippians
2:13, “for it is God who works
in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.” So that He may
“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 13:21) It is really not about me/us at all. It is all about Him.
So my immediate obedience or lack of, is a litmus test
of how deeply I believe Him.
