Have you ever felt disqualified to do something and that there was no point in trying?.
Have you ever felt discouraged and wanted to give up on something that you were already doing?.
Did you think you had to do it with your own strength or wisdom?.
Last Sunday I was listening to the story of the paralytic man at the pool of Bethesda, he needed to get into the water first in order to get healed because an angel stirred the waters.
His focus was on that pool and getting there first. The problem is that he could not do that because someone else would go in before him.
The man thought that there was only one way to be healed. But he did not know that the healer Himself was talking to him and asking him if he wanted to be healed.
Jesus simply gave him His word…….. Get up take your bed and walk. And he did, he was healed that very moment!….. Praise the Lord !!.
Those words spoke to my heart very clearly. Get up and walk, you can do what you are meant to do, the one who created you says you can do it. There are no more excuses, you may not be holly enough in your own eyes, clever enough, or gifted enough. But He who called you is faithful and He will do it.
I encourage you not to focus on whatever it is that may represent that pool in your life and the fact that you cannot get there on your own. The truth is that The One who created you says Get up and walk, you can do it, He is enabling you.
Be blessed,
