Do you ever wish you had just a little more information?
Does limited details and lack of clarity leave you feeling incapable?
Today I’m talking about Moses. Moses had all the details. God gave him specifics on what he was to do and how he was to do it.
But he still struggled.
Even with all the details Moses still wanted God to find someone else to do the job.
Moses was so focused on what he didn’t have and what he believed he couldn’t do that he missed out on what God could do through him. He didn’t recognize that what he needed was already in his hand.
The what if’s, the insecurities and believing that we know better than God…not always by what we say but often what we do (or don’t do), can keep us from experiencing the power of God in our lives.
Do what God said to do, the way that He said to do it. Trust Him. Be encouraged. Believe that He has equipped you to do whatever it is He has called you to do. You are the person for the job. You are capable because His power is at work in you.
Let’s Talk!
After you’ve listened to the podcast, I’d love to continue the conversation. Be sure and leave a comment or ask a question!
- What “job” has God asked you to do?
- When you don’t feel capable, how do fight the temptation to say “Lord, please find someone one else”?
- Have a question you’d like for me to answer on a future podcast? Share your question with me HERE.
Highlights from Today’s Episode:
“Encouragement When You Don’t Feel Capable”
- Details don’t give you strength. Moses had all the details and he still struggled.
- If you are not careful you will talk yourself out of the very thing God is trying to talk you into.
- Don’t despise the small things. Do whatever it is God has asked you to do.

OMG!! I missed you so much!! Thank you for posting this because I needed this right now. Between Priscilla’s Ferven’t Friday talking about your identity and this message about feeling capable, I am so encouraged. Please pray that I will begin to seek God for direction on areas in ministry that I know I am supposed to be functioning in but have not because I don’t feel like I am the one who should do it. Thank you for sharing this. I really needed this.
I loved it and needed to hear it today of all days. I got up and was preparing to study for a bible study that I have to lead. The first question I asked God was, “Why me?” I feel there are so many people who know and understand more of the bible than I do, and who I feel should’ve been chosen…BUT…God chose me. Thanks for all the wonderful reminders!!
Prayed for u!
You are welcome!
I really needed to hear this today – Thanks, Chrystal! We’re hosting an exchange student who needs to hear my testimony. I was afraid until I heard your podcast.
Hey, I knew you’d be back. Thank you for sharing this with us, this “first encounter” with Moses. These are very uncommon items that certainly need facing.
“Lord, we thank You today for strengthening our sister’s hands as she meets these immediate tasks. Please help us understand how Your program really works. We love You, Lord, we honor You. Thank You for loving us first and not forgetting us or leaving us out, in our Messiah’s Name…
Hello Chrystal! Its my first time listening to your podcast. Im from Guatemala, thank you for this precious Word of encouragement. It blew my head off, it came just in time 🙂 I bless you in Jesus name.
Thank you for listening!
Blessings to you!
Just found your blog, enjoying this podcast as I am finding myself exactly where you are describing.
Thanks for being so encouraging and listening to the Father!
I feel as though God wants me to write a blog, but I’m fighting my fear of sharing it with the world because of the things people may say, like, “who does she think she is to talk about relationships, she’s divorced.” or “why does she think she can tell us about health and fitness, she’s still 10 pounds overweight.” But I am fighting back by telling that voice to be quiet and leave me alone!
Hi Chrystal, I missed you and soooo glad you’re back. I needed the confirmation you wrote for I started guiding a Bible Study today! It is called “The Secrets of the Vine” based on John 15:1-16. And Jesus said, I am the vine and you are the branches….”
