Most of us feel like there is something more. We feel like we are called to do greater things than we are currently doing. That we should be making more of an impact on this world. Is this you? Do you struggle with God’s plan for you? Do you just want to know what it is that He would have you do? Or do you know what it is, but have no idea how to move forward? Or do you know the what and how but you are unsettled by His timing because you feel like you are in a holding pattern?
If you are stalled or unsure, first understand that those feelings are natural and part of the process. Secondly, ask yourself – Am I really available? Are you willing to surrender your will and your expectations to His will and plan for your life? Are you willing to take that step in faith for Him and His calling on your life?
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here I am . Send me!” – Isaiah 6:8
Do you have Isaiah’s availability and willingness to take that first step, completely trusting His plan and path?
If you are anything like me, you want to be. But you fight a battle of “what ifs” with every thought of availability. So, doubt creeps in and your confidence disappears. Instead of “Here I am. Send me!” Our response is more like, “Here I am, what do you have in mind and if that fits into my plan, I am in.” And this does not work. This is where you stall. But the fix is simple; dig in, spend more time in the Word, truly ask God for guidance, and then do the hardest part, listen. He will show you your next step. But, your obedience is up to you. Your availability is up to you.
