Key Thought

God doesn’t wait for you to feel ready to call you. He simply asks you to go—and grow as you go.

 

When the Mission Finds You

Sometimes we pursue a mission.

Other times… it finds us.

Not in the way you’d expect, either. You’re minding your own business, doing life as usual, and suddenly something begins stirring. A need, a gap, a calling—whatever you want to call it. It grabs your attention and won’t let go.

You didn’t go looking for the assignment, yet there it is. And now you’ve got a choice: ignore it, or lean in.

 

Let’s Go Back to Moses (Again)

Remember when Moses stumbled upon the burning bush?

He wasn’t on a spiritual retreat. He was herding sheep.

That’s when God dropped this leadership bomb on him:

“So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

(Exodus 3:10, NIV)

You know what Moses didn’t say?

“Great! I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

Instead, he panicked. He doubted. He begged God to send someone else. Five excuses in total.

And still… God didn’t take the mission away.

Why? Because God doesn’t need perfect people. He needs the present ones.

 

The Most Dangerous Thing You Can Do Is Delay

I get it—stepping out before you feel ready is terrifying.

Here’s the truth: you may never feel ready. 

What would’ve happened if Moses had waited another year? How many lives would’ve NOT been delivered had Moses waited? Waiting for a perfect moment might cost you the impact you were born to make.

How many opportunities to serve, lead, or influence are missed because we hesitate?

God knows your limitations better than you do. And He still called you.

 

Obedience > Readiness

Your job isn’t to feel confident all the time.

Your job is to say “yes” and trust that God equips those He sends.

“The Lord replied, ‘I will personally go with you, Moses, I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.’”

(Exodus 33:14, NLT)

Remember, the power isn’t in your preparedness. It’s in His presence.

 

Challenge & Call to Action

This week, ask yourself:

What calling or assignment keeps resurfacing in my heart?What am I putting off because I don’t “feel ready”?What would change if I responded with obedience instead of hesitation?

Remember: delayed obedience is often disobedience in disguise. Don’t wait for perfect conditions—say yes and go.

 

Scriptural Foundation

“Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.”
