When we consider the extraordinary ways YHWH worked through men such as Moses and Paul, we may think, "I can't measure up to people like them. I don't have what they had."
But you must realize that these "heroes" of the faith were just common, ordinary people. It was their obedience, their complete yieldedness to YHWH, that gave them uncommon strength, perseverance, and faith. They submitted their lives whole-heartedly to YHWH, which moved YHWH to work through them.
Their examples should inspire each of us to re-evaluate our own obedience. Are we reluctant to listen to YHWH because we think He is asking the impossible?
Yoḥanan Aleph (1 John) 5:3 TS2009 "For this is the love for Elohim, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy, because everyone having been born of Elohim overcomes the world."
Are we failing to make ourselves available to Him because we are doubtful or afraid?
When we doubt, we are not putting our trust in YHWH. James 1:6 states that for the one that doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
Yoḥanan Aleph (1 John) 4:18 TS2009 "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear holds punishment, and he who fears has not been made perfect in love."
Our part is to simply obey, and YHWH will do His part.
YHWH can do anything through the believer who has a yielding heart towards Him and a strong devotion to walk in His ways. The power of obedience bears much fruit, which in turn, brings great blessings. HalleluYAH!
