Moses Biggest Obstacle…

When God called Moses, the biggest obstacle in the calling of Moses was Moses. He said, ‘Oh, but I can’t, I’m too slow of speech’. God’s saying, ‘Forget about you, it’s not about you. It’s about Me.’

When God called Jeremiah, he said, ‘I’m too young’. It sounds humble, but it’s not. You can’t fulfill your ministry, only God can. We like to think that our situation, or lack of opportunity, is preventing our calling.

No, the biggest obstacle in your calling is you. Maybe you haven’t answered yet, or God called you one way, and you went another. Whatever it is, know this: there’s nothing that can stop your calling except you.

If God calls you, there’s no lack of calling on His part. Know that you’re in good company because Moses, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Peter were all the biggest obstacles in their calling. That’s good news because they all ended up getting themselves out of God’s way, and you can do the same.

Start walking the high calling God gave you because if we can be the greatest obstacle in our calling, we can also be the greatest breakthrough.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name, the Father will give you.  John 15:16

Have you gotten in the way of your own calling? Today, get out of God’s way and allow Him to move through you to accomplish His calling in your life.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

One Step Ahead…

Good morning. As dawn breaks and a new day unfolds, we’re reminded that God is already ahead of us, making a way where there seems to be no way. Today, let’s dive into a timeless promise that has fortified countless believers through trials and tribulations.

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.   Exodus 14:14

Life’s struggles can be daunting, sometimes making us feel like we’re backed up against an impenetrable wall with no way out. The Israelites felt the same when they were trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea. But God told them to be still; He was fighting for them. This story isn’t just a historical event; it’s a spiritual blueprint. The same God who parted the Red Sea is fighting your battles today.

“Being still” isn’t about inactivity but about spiritual posture. It’s relinquishing control, letting go of our urge to fix things, and giving God room to move mightily on our behalf. When we do that, we create a spiritual environment where miracles can happen. Being still is actually a courageous act of faith, making space for God to show up and show off His power.

Peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of Christ.

Father, I come before You with a heart overflowing with gratitude. Even in my weariness, I know that You are my strength. Even when the way forward feels uncertain, I know that You are my guide. Help me quiet the doubts and fears that try to steal my peace. Replace my striving with a deep trust in Your perfect plan. Let me find rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for me, working all things for good, even when I can not see it. Fill me with Your joy that transcends my circumstances and a hope that anchors me through every storm. May I walk boldly today, knowing that Your love surrounds me, Your power works within me, and Your victory is assured. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
