Are you sufficient? Or is whatever sufficiency we have, actually coming from God? The correct answer is that He has,
" ... made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant ..." and this, " ... of the Spirit" (2 Corinthians 3:5 & 6 ESV).
Paul claimed this for himself and Timothy. It was God's will for them to have this sufficiency.
As believers in Jesus Christ we have the same sufficiency too. When we (or others) may feel we don't have what it takes to serve the Lord in whatever capacity, know that of course we don't!
It has to, it must, only come from God through His will and Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit within us. It's only through Him that we have our strength for the good deeds He has for us to do.
When we rest on this knowledge, we will do much for Christ, whether it's preaching the gospel, or sharing the Word in order to build up the chgurch in their most holy faith. May His Spirit continue to give life to the work we've been ordained to do for Him.
Let's make good use of such opportunities because He makes us sufficient for the task. Onward ho, brothers and sisters-in-Christ! To God be the glory and honor. Amen.
