How Instead of Who

 When it comes to walking by faith, many get bogged down with asking how impossible things can happen. How can a couple with a young children die to the American dream to take Jesus into a dangerous Muslim country? How can the money be raised for something God is calling to happen? How can the gospel penetrate the dark corners of communities? How can churches minister more effectively outside the walls of the buildings? The logistical how questions are at times not easily answered. 

Serving God is not like running a business. While some churches operate on business principles, walking by faith flies in the face of business principles. While corporate minds ask the logistical questions of how, faith walkers focus on who. Who called them? Who wills certain things to be done? Who has the power to do the impossible? Who is faithful to complete what He wants done. 

Which kind of person are you? Are you a how person? I am not suggesting they are not needed. Dreamers need how people to put the vision together and nail down the details. Brenda is one of those people in my life. I dream and she plans the how. She knows the who that calls me to those dreams. 

Please do not let the how questions keep you from obeying the who. Our God is trustworthy. There are so many things that He wants to accomplish. So many dark corners of our communities that He wants to penetrate with His marvelous light. There are so many kingdom tasks He dreams and calls people to believe Him for. Do not let the unanswered questions of how keep you from obeying Him WHO calls you. The who is greater than our how. 

Does God will it be done? Did He initiate it? Has He called you to join Him? Will it glorify Him? Is His power limited? Are His resources in shorty supply? Can He do whatever He wants through whomever He wants whenever He wants and wherever He wants? Yes, and a thousand times yes.  Trust Him and obey Him. The He WHO calls us to follow Him is greater than all our HOW questions and doubts that He can get the job done.
