Reserved or Outgoing?

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV

I was leading a meeting full of pastors, and the subject of introvert versus extrovert came up. Because I was curious, I asked for a show of hands. Believe it or not, all but a couple were self-proclaimed introverts!

Isn’t that interesting? The same guys who thunder away in the pulpit on Sunday morning are most comfortable out of the limelight. As the old saying goes, “in a nook with a book” served as a happy place for many of them, I’m sure.

This speaks of God’s enabling grace. He called these introverts to do extraverted stuff, and He gives them the power to do it. God’s calling comes with God’s equipping.

So, what about you? What is God calling you to do? Seems too hard or out of character for you to do? Good! That means you have to lean on Him to accomplish it.

By the way, I was in the introverted group, too.

Today, let’s walk in His grace and enablement, knowing that He will help us to do His will.

Dear Father in Heaven, Thank You for Your saving grace and sustaining grace. Today, we look to You to guide us, provide for us, and to empower us to do service in Your Name. We rest on Thee, our strength and redeemer. In Jesus’ Name, we pray, Amen.
