Devotional
Sometimes we feel paralyzed by our perceived inadequacies. We wait until we feel 'ready' to serve, to speak, to step out in faith. But God's power works differently than we might expect. He doesn't wait for us to feel qualified - He qualifies us through His Spirit. Think about the disciples - ordinary people who were transformed by extraordinary power. The same Spirit that empowered them lives in us today. We don't need to wait until we have all the answers or feel completely prepared. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Bible Verse
'But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.' - Acts 1:8

Reflection Question
What mission or calling has God placed on your heart that you've been hesitating to pursue because you don't feel ready?

Quote
Your power to follow Jesus on mission is not from you. It's from God. He empowers you. He gives you the strength.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for empowering me through Your Spirit. Help me to step out in faith, trusting not in my own strength but in Your power working through me. Give me courage to say yes to Your calling. Amen.
