Purpose & Obedience

So it’s been heavy on my heart this sentiment of purpose. I’ve been struggling with my purpose and the what’s next. Not only what’s next, but if I hear God telling me what’s next, how and where do I start.

So I go back and forth with purpose but I remind myself to remain obedient. Which is obviously easier said than done. Sometimes being obedient means sacrifice, and that sacrifice might need you to lean into your faith harder than you ever have before. Which is scary.

Today’s scripture was 2 Corinthians 12:9 where we are reminded that his grace is sufficient and his power works best in weakness.

Don’t lose faith, being fearful of obedience.

If God told you to do it, do it. God will bless your obedience.

God has put something on you to do in this season. It’s not your job to worry about the next step, it’s your job to remain obedient. 

It’s ok to be vulnerable, I just want to encourage you to do it scared. I say that now ending a period of fasting, struggling with imposter syndrome and letting my anxiety lead me in a place of fear to fulfill what God has put on me. But what scares me more is being disobedient and God not trusting me with my next task to build his kingdom.

I want everything I do to be able to glorify him and show his work in me to others so they can see just an ounce of his grace.

Even in moments of darkness, you have purpose. Even in moments of light, you have greater purpose.

So what you have now, your gift, is meant to grow and push you, to get you out of your comfort zone and help others in this season. Be encouraged, be fearless and allow the power of God to work through you.

Thank you, this was my Ted Talk. (speaking this into existence)

Obama out!
