My friend had been asked to teach a lesson at a stake activity.
And she was so nervous!
She vented to me that she didn’t enjoy teaching or speaking…
But she had accepted the assignment because she was willing to try.
She wanted to share an important message despite feeling completely inadequate.
I walked into her lesson ready to cheer her on.
And I was blown away by the power of the Spirit in that room.
She seemed to radiate confidence as she taught, and I could feel the Spirit manifesting the truth of her words to me.
When Saul suddenly started to prophesy, people noticed something different about him:
“And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.” (1 Samuel 10:10)
Watching someone be filled with the Spirit of God as they fulfill a calling from the Lord is thrilling.
Something special is added to our very imperfect efforts when we agree to teach, minister, serve, or lead as an official call or assignment.
“Callings from the Lord are tailor-made for our growth.” – Patrick Kearon
How can you better invite the Lord’s Spirit to be with you as you step into your callings with confidence?
Happy Studying!
