Delayed Obedience

 For a long time, I have felt led to write. But my indecisiveness has gotten in the way. I wrestled with questions like Am I worthy enough? Why would anyone want to read my words? Surely I’m not holy enough. The funny thing is that the Bible shows over and over how God uses broken inadequate people to further His kingdom. 

Sometimes when I tell my teen to do something, I’m met with a disinterested “ok” and nothing happens. My request goes ignored until I resort to more reminders and threats of punishment.  Delayed obedience is disobedience. Read that last sentence again. When God calls me to do something and I drag my feet, I’m being disobedient. It doesn’t matter that I feel unworthy or unqualified. It doesn’t matter that I am not sure where to even begin. What does matter is that I’m willing to let God use me as He see fit. How does God want to use you?
