God with you
He (Gideon) said to Him, "O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house." Then the Lord said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man."
Judges 6:15-16 - NKJV
I guess you know God has a plan for you. The question is, "What has your circumstance got to do with its fulfilment?" Like Gideon in the verse above, your natural man usually replies to God by telling Him your inadequacies. Moses, also, did that at one point. However, young Mary in Nazareth didn't! She took to heart the angel's words, "With God nothing shall be impossible" and responded saying, "Let it be to me according to your word." Ex.4:10; Jud.6:15; Luk.1:37-38.
Be conscious of God with you and your responses to God's plans can be as faith-filled as Mary's. Lay aside your own ideas about who you are and what you can do. Instead, take to heart what God says about who you are, what He's done for you and what He can do with you as long as you're trusting Him. People of God have done great things for God down through the ages when they have taken to heart what God has spoken over them. In reality, they realised they weren't anything special but they acknowledged God with them could do special things through them.
Take your eyes off yourself and put them on Jesus. This is how to move with God into His plan for you. You will never have the perfect background, the perfect education and the perfect financial and social standing for the job but Jesus always has the perfect anointing for you. What does He require from you? Simply your willingness. As the old saying goes, "The best ability is availability!"
Let God be your sufficiency!
