When We Feel Overwhelmed and Inadequate

Hi Advent Kids,

I've been thinking this week about tasks that seem TOO BIG! Too big for me to tackle, too big to even start, too big for my puny ability. Sometimes God asks me to do things like that. And sometimes I have argued with him. I have stamped my foot and told him, "NO! I just CAN'T do that!" 

But amazingly, over and over again, He has reminded me of who HE is and of HIS strength. It's because of HIM, not ME, that I can take on a situation that may look too big.

This happened to Moses in Genesis 3:1-15. He REALLY didn't want to go talk to Pharoah (his adopted grandpa who didn't like him) about letting the Israelite slaves go (who also didn't like him). Moses kept telling God HOW much he didn't want to do this, and God kept reminding Moses of His Name and His Past work.

As you face hard tasks this fall, I'm praying for each of you to be able to look at who God is and what He has done in the past.

I love you guys!
