“What If You’re More Ready Than You Think?”

Stop Waiting for the Perfect Moment

Let’s be honest — a lot of us are sitting on the sidelines, waiting for everything to line up just right.
“Once work slows down…”
“When life calms down…”
“After I feel more spiritual…”

Sound familiar?

Here’s the truth: if you wait for perfect, you’ll wait forever.
God isn’t asking for perfection — He’s asking for obedience. He’s not waiting on your upgrade — He’s calling you to move with what’s already in your hands.

Use What You Already Have

Right now, today, you already have a spiritual arsenal:
His Word
His Spirit
His presence
His people

You don’t need to become a monk with a Greek lexicon or build a prayer room out of reclaimed barnwood. You just need to start where you are and swing what you’ve got.

Need proof? Look at World War II. Soldiers didn’t wait for perfect weapons or conditions. They trained while they fought. They used what they had — and they built more as they went.

That’s your move too.
Lead with what you’ve been given.
Grow as you go.
You are built for this.

Ask Yourself:

• Am I delaying obedience because I don’t feel “ready”?

• Which weapon have I been neglecting — Word, prayer, or community?

• What’s stopping me from starting today?
