Are you qualified?



I was reading in Colossians the other day in Chapter 1 Verse 11-12 and it said “May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. I thought about it for a while and thought, wow, if God called you, He has qualified you. How many times do we set out in our businesses or finances, and think I am not qualified to accomplish this task? I don’t know about you but I like the idea of being qualified by Him. I think that means if you are called, He will get you there, sometimes kicking and screaming, but you will make it there. Although I sometimes may wonder, when setbacks occur if He dialed the wrong number! If you are called to do something He will provide the means by which to do it no matter what the circumstances might be. Remember it is a process and that power is guarded by problems. I think the setbacks are very important to build strength in us to succeed. God wants to expose the weak spots in our character because it can turn into rot if it is not addressed. Power when not submitted to Gods grace will tend to corrupt us. It is a process to get us there to accomplish what we are called to do. If I don’t fail I will not be able to succeed. We cannot achieve perfection but we can have great progress. If you think you are perfect that’s your first mistake. I want to encourage you to go after whatever it is God has called you to do because the world needs what you have. Remember if you are called He has qualified you to succeed!
