Are you on a mission to be the salt and light of your world but are frustrated by a lack of resources? You’re not alone. Every mission-driven person seems to lack the resources to accomplish their goals. There is never enough funding, staff, or equipment to fully realize their vision. Consider this: no one on Earth has all of the resources required. If they had the resources they desired, they would have no future plans. They would have accomplished all of their goals. People make future plans because they do not have what they need right now and are working to get it.
Don’t be discouraged by a lack of resources. You must have faith in God and keep pushing every day. If you act on faith, you will become more resourceful. Resourcefulness is the key to realizing your full potential. The ability to maximize what you have rather than focusing on what you don’t have is a blessing in and of itself. One of the first lessons you should learn is that where there is a will, there is always a way. There is always another way to achieve the same goals, one that is within your current budget.
Matthew 10:5-15 contains valuable lessons. Our Lord Jesus sheds light on how to approach things. All you need to do is keep it simple and moving. It is wise to stop complaining about a lack of equipment and recognise that you are the equipment. Simplify your plans until you arrive at a form that can be executed right away. Simple, practical plans always outperform complex, dreamy plans. As you commit to showing up every day and doing the work at your level. You will see the Lord’s blessing in your work, and He will make you productive.
