Yes.

I believe obedience is a gift. Truly. As it takes immense faith to step out into what we believe the Lord is asking of us. With great self-discipline, not to run in the opposite direction with arms wildly flailing about. The tugging at your heart, if indeed the Holy Spirit, will be confirmed through scripture and others.

Such as it was confirmed through my Pastor's sermon months prior. He spoke of how Mary and Joseph were both ordinary people as you and I. That they were chosen for an extraordinary task. To be the parents of the Christ Child, God in flesh. After the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary in Luke 1:26-38,..."Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God." Her response, "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled."  As I sat upon the chair, drinking in each and every word; my heart begun to pound deep within my chest, beating harder with each scripture confirming what I had believed the Lord to have placed upon my heart. Trembling, I found myself on bended knee at the altar. "I surrender, Lord. Thine Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. AMEN!" 

When God commissioned Moses to return to Egypt where he was to stand before Pharaoh and command him to let the the Israelite's go, his reply was as such: Moses said the Lord, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." The Lord said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? ....Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." Exodus 4:10-12 NIV

What is being asked of you? Fearful there is a cost? Do you perhaps feel inexperienced, too tired, too old, not old enough? Moses was 80 years of age when he first stood before Pharaoh. Now that's impressive! Lean not on your own strength nor understanding but surrender your heart and soul over to the One who will see you through. Who always has. 

"....And everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from him to whom much has been committed, more they will ask of him." ~ Luke 12:48b BSB
