When We Don’t Have Enough Faith
We sit in good company
I will never forget the time that I realized I didn’t have enough faith to see something through that God called me to do.
Shortly after graduating college, God called me into full-time ministry. Not as a pastor or a missionary in another country, but as a stateside operations person for a well-known Christian organization.
I was so excited to jump into this new adventure. And, I felt positive that God would bless everything that I would do since it was the first time I really experienced a clear call from God to do something.
Several months into it, however, I had to learn a lesson.
One of the important things about this job is that I had to raise my own salary, benefits, and so on. That meant going to people I knew to have “support” appointments. In these appointments, I would share what I would be doing and asking people to partner with me financially.
A few months into this, I remember sitting at my parents' home so discouraged and disillusioned that I wondered what the matter was with me. Why couldn’t I raise my support? Why were these meetings going so horribly?
Over the next few months, I started to learn a powerful lesson, I was operating out of a faith deficit and it was impacting everything…
