Equipped

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

My husband and I recently took our daughter to a college orientation. We left the college sad as the reality of our future with her 6.5 hours away is beginning to set in. We also left feeling a bit overwhelmed by the check list of things we needed to take care of before August. We hit the ground running when we got home and were able to accomplish most of the tasks set before us.

We feel an overwhelming desire to do everything possible to set our daughter up for college success. The steps we’ve taken over the years and more recently have all been to equip her for the road ahead. I know confidentially she is thoroughly equipped.

Once she finds herself without us around pushing her, it will be up to her to tap into the resources surrounding her. She’s equipped with everything she needs.

Just like my daughter is equipped for success, God has equipped us thoroughly “for every good work.” Whatever God has called you and I to, He has equipped us to do. God’s word is useful for training. The more willing we are to tap into His word, the more equipped we become to do what He has called us to do. We never have to feel unworthy or not good enough. He who called us is faithful. It’s important for us to be faithful back.
