Hello Fellow Steemians!!!

There will be times when Jesus will ask you to do what seems to be impossible. How will you respond? With excuses or with obedience? 

Jeremiah was only a teenager when God called him to be a prophet and speak his holy Word. Jeremiah’s response was, “I can’t do that! I’m too young!” But God reminded Jeremiah that he would put his very words in Jeremiah’s mouth. All Jeremiah needed to do was simply obey. 

“Before I formed you in the womb I knewyou,
    before you were born I set you apart;
    I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

“Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”

But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.  Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.

Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.  See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”

- Jeremiah 1:5-10 

New International Version 

God will never ask you to do something without giving you everything you need to complete the task. If he says, “Get up!” know that he’ll provide the strength you need to do so. Instead of questioning God’s ways, you need to respond in obedient faith.

Pray It! 

Do you wonder how much more God could do in and through your life if you’d simply obey him instead of question him? Ask him to strengthen your faith so you can obey him in every area of your life.Be blessed and keep on smiling whenever and wherever you are. Have a great day everyone! God bless us all and again thank you for your time.🙂
