What does God look for in His servant? Cleverness? Ability? Strength?
Talent? Above all, He looks for faithfulness. If you are willing to obey Him in
whatever He ask of you, He will see to it that you have all the ability and
strength you need to succeed in what He ask.
Serving God is a privilege, not a burden. If God gives you an
assignment, count yourself blessed that He considers you faithful enough to
trust you with it! Don’t concern yourself about whether you have the ability
needed to get the job done. That’s in God’s hands. He has more than enough
strength to carry out His plans. What’s important is that He chooses to include
you in His activity.
If you have failed to do what God has asked you to do, don’t be
surprised if He doesn’t give you a new assignment. If He let you to serve in
some capacity in your church and you refused because you felt inadequate, you
were really saying God is unable to carry out His plans. Do you wonder why no
new word is coming from God for your life? If you will go back and do the last
thing He told you, trusting Him to give you strength, you will then be ready
for what He has in store for you next. You will know that God considers you
faithful when He trust you a new opportunity to serve Him.
“I thank Jesus Christ our Lord,
who has given me strength, that He considered me faithful, appointing me to His
service.” - 1 Tim. 1:12
