Volume 13, Issue 09: He Avails Helpers

I recently found myself in a situation where I felt incompetent. As is my practice, I talk to myself and talk to God about stuff. When I got back home that evening, my self talk wound me in a place of acknowledging that I don't have to be good at everything in my profession. There are things I am excellent at that someone else is incompetent at. And there are people who are outstanding at things I am not good at.

On this evening, and while praying the next morning, I found that God had sent me help to ensure I had someone to take care of what I didn't know how to do, and didn't have the time to learn. This person had just joined the organization and I was in the process of onboarding her. Without my asking, she volunteered to take responsibility for the task.

Don't feel intimidated by other people's competence. And don't be discouraged by the realization of an aspect of your profession that is not your strong suit. Take pride in your strengths and continue to polish them. And with regards to your weaknesses, manage them and take advantage of the support from those who are strong at them. Don't miss out on the helpers God brings around you to make up for your inadequacies.

For His Glory,
