You've passed!
'... Our qualification comes from God.' 2 Corinthians 3:5
When it comes to those pesky exam results we all want to hear, 'You've passed'. At the end of our driving test we want to be told, 'You've passed'. And after the job interview we want to hear, 'You've passed, you're qualified, the job is yours'. When it comes to doing things for God we don't have to become stress-heads swatting up for exams, take nerve-racking tests or sit through intense interviews, '...
Our qualification comes from God.' You see, God never asks you to do things for Him, He asks you to do things with Him. With God you are always qualified to do whatever He asks you to do. So go for it! Don't panic, saying, 'But I just can't do it.' 'Your qualification comes from God': 'God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you're ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done.' (2 Corinthians 9:8)
Don't panic, saying, 'But I'm skint, I don't have the money to do that': '... God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all you need, you will abound in every good work' (2 Corinthians 9:8). Don't panic, saying 'But I'm not strong enough to cope with doing that.' Because, 'Your qualification comes from God.' you can confidently say, 'I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.' (Philippians 4:13).
