God equips each of us with whatever He has called us to do. Therefore, we go from inadequate to enough because of the possibility with the impossible of God. For with God, all things are possible.
When l read the traits of the Proverbs 31 woman, I want to be like her. She is a godly woman, wise, charitable, and a good steward with her talents and gifts. (Proverbs 31:10-31)
But me?

But me?#proverbs31woman #calling #Beingenough Click To TweetI remember making pizza dough for the first time. Anxiety and doubt jumped – has the yeast bubbled in hot water long enough? What does punching the dough mean? Will it turn out? What will we eat for dinner?
When what God has called you to do seems impossible, you may feel inadequate, minor, or incapable.
When we feel inadequate, we often think we are unloved, even by the ones who love us deeply.
In Matthew 19:23-24, Jesus explains that it is hard for the rich to enter heaven as they cannot give up their riches to follow him.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
His disciples were astonished, and Jesus gave them this beautiful truth.
When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, The disciples asked, “Who then can be saved?”
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible” (Matthew 19:25-26 NKJV).
When we see that God already knows our limitations but has provided a way for us, we see how much He loves us. No longer do we need to feel inadequate or unloved. We belong to the God of love, the author of possible impossibilities.

God establishes our plans with perfect timing and gives us supernatural strength to accomplish our calling.
Whether your calling is a wife or mother, or if God calls you to soar to new heights, pen words, or teach new generations, we can rest assured that whatever He calls, He will finish. And we can be sure that He who began a good work in us will bring it to completion until the day of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:6)
Sister, be brave and step out in holy boldness embracing your calling. And the possibility of the impossible because with God, all things are possible.
Smiles & Blessings, Deborah

This is such a wonderful reminder for us all. When God calls us, He will also equip us. Thank you for the encouragement today!
Thank you, Joanne, for reading. God reminds me often when I feel incapable. Blessings to you.
When God equips, I love the fact that HE always calls those who are not qualified. Great post Deborah. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Desiray, thank you for reading and your encouragement. Yes, I so often feel I am unqualified but that doesn’t matter because He is!
Such an important message. We’re not sufficient in ourselves, but our sufficiency is in Him.
Yes, Barbara, thankfully God laid this I’m my heart.?
I find comfort in Philippians 1:6 – knowing that I don’t have to have it all figured out now, Jesus is continually working in me until the very end!
Nichole, thanks for sharing Philippians 1:6 – a beautiful verse?
This is lovely, Deborah! I usually say that all i want is just to hear God accurately. Once I am certain He’s the One who sent me, we ‘meuve’! If I stumble or “flop”, I trust Him to catch me. After all, HE sent me. Let Him handle the flops!.?
I love this, Deborah. Thank you :)??
Debby, I am happy you liked it. Thank you, and I love how you follow God? yes it is so important to listen for and to Him.
I appreciate this encouraging reminder. It is empowering in and of itself! I especially liked the part where you wrote that we only need to trust and obey Him. May we all be found faithful in this!
Helen, I am happy that it touched you. Yes, may we all be faithful in trusting and obeying.?
This is so true! What a great reminder that what can seem impossible to us is possible with God, especially in our calling. I know that is where I struggle to believe it the most.
Kristen, me too. But whenever I am feeling this way, God rescues me.
I appreciate this encouragement, Deborah, “God equips each of us with whatever He has called us to do, ‘Therefore, we go from inadequate to enough because of the possibility with the impossible of God. For with God, all things are possible.” He does take us from strength to strength and glory to glory.
Lisa, Yes I love this – He takes us from strength to strength and glory to glory! I am happy it touches your heart today as it does mine.
Deborah, it is good to just rest in God, knowing HE is enough. Whenever I feel overwhelmed at what is before me, I retreat back into His Presence for the reminder that with Him all is possible, the outcome doesn’t rest with me!
Donna, yes resting in God because He is enough – thank you! His Presence!
