Almost....

Most of the time, with most of the skills I have, I am almost great at them. Oh, sure, I can do a fair job at most things I try, but I have never felt like I have "mastered" anything. Maybe I lack the patience to continually practice one thing or another. Maybe I am just destined to be a "Jack of All Trades, Master of None". Sometimes I feel like this in my spiritual life too. I always think that I should pray more, fast more, sing better, do more in ministry, teach better, witness more effectively, and the list goes on and on. When these thoughts come though, I must realize that as long as I am letting the Lord guide my path, He will make sure that I am effective and well equipped for the task. Remember to, that you are fighting in a spiritual war! The enemy would like nothing more than to dishearten you. Take heart! God is with you! I also have to realize that God is going to make me perfect someday. I have been justified at the cross, so why worry about gaining the whole knowledge of the world? Jesus said, " What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" (Mark 8:36)
In short, there is nothing "almost" with God. What He wants to be accomplished will be and has been. Furthermore, He didn't almost choose the right people, He doesn't make mistakes! You are loved and saved for a better purpose. Ask Him what it is that He wants you to do, throw away your own ideas about what you think you should be doing, and above all(as usual) read your Bible often and always. God Bless!
