Qualified

When they observed the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and knew that they had been with Jesus.

Acts 4:13 (HCSB)

Are you qualified to do great things for God?  I have talked with many Christians who struggle as a Christ follower because they don't think they are qualified.  They think they don't know enough.  The feel inadequate to effectively be used by God.  When we have those thoughts we just need to go back to the Scripture.  Story after story in the Old Testament as well as the new we show us the error of our thoughts.

This verse from the Acts is a prime example.  Peter and John were doing great things.  They were bold and those opposing them were surprised and impressed.  Why were they impressed?  Because they realized that they were uneducated and untrained men.  Now note that it was the opposition that discovered the "why."  It was that they had been with Jesus!

So back to our initial question, are you qualified to do great things for God?  Have you been with Jesus?  Are you spending time growing in your relationship with Him?  Are you spending time in His Word so that He can teach you?  If so, get ready because you can do great things!  If not, there is a very simple solutions.  START!
