Take a Moment: Wk 9 Day 4 Devotion & Prayer From Pastor Batiste

Title: “Called While Unqualified”

As we step into this fourth day of the week, let’s pause with Moses at the burning bush. God gives him an assignment that’s divine—but Moses responds with doubt: “Who am I?” Sound familiar?

That’s often our first response when God calls us to something bigger than our comfort zone. We think of our past, our insecurities, our shortcomings. But notice—God doesn’t waste time affirming Moses’ résumé. He simply says, “I will be with you.” Because when God is with you, you already have what you need.

Maybe you feel unqualified to lead, to speak, to start, to believe again. But the truth is—God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called. He’s not looking for perfection; He’s looking for obedience.

God sees beyond your excuses. He’s after your “yes.”

Reflection: What have you been resisting because you feel unqualified to do it?

Prayer: God, I’ve been focused on my limitations instead of Your power. Today, help me say yes—even when I feel unsure. Remind me that Your presence is greater than any weakness I carry. Use me despite me. Amen.

"God isn’t waiting on your perfection—He’s waiting on your participation."
