God sometimes called people with no prior training

Psalm 40:8 I delight to do Your will, my God; Your instruction resides within me." (HCSB)



Proverbs 20:5 Counsel in a man's heart is deep water; but a man of understanding draws it up. (HCSB)

God sometimes called people with no prior training, out of the blue, it seems. God called Joshua, not Aaron, or anyone else to lead the Israelites we would expect after Moses dies. We did not see much of Joshua demonstrating leadership, or anything, but like when he call David, he, God, knew his heart. The Lord saw the deep still waters of his soul, and it was drawn out of Joshua. Why? Because he delighted in the will of God and knew, even if no one else knew, God’s instruction resides within him and he shall succeed by following. How many times have God prompted us to act, do, say, and/or go, we do not. Our faith wavers, our mind begin to focus on the logical deductive reason that makes sense to us, in our mind, not realizing God does not think like us, and sees today, yesterday and tomorrow in one vision. Forgetting God knows who we are, what we are capable of doing before he calls us. See, too many time we are ready but we are not always willing because it is not want we desire to do, or would like to do; stretches us. Then, we wonder, why have I not live in abundance, growth does not appear in my walk, and I am not where I know I suppose to be. Well, when we refuse God’s call, we can because our free will, we do not get the extras that come with it. Joshua listened, and obeyed, followed the instruction given. So once Joshua began to draw on what was him, rest in the instruction residing within him, God did the following, God provided Joshua with instructions on how to be a leader for the people, and what he need to do to received..Joshua 1:6-9 -"Be strong and courageous, for you will distribute the land I swore to their fathers to give them as an inheritance. Above all, be strong and very courageous to carefully observe the whole instruction My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or the left, so that you will have success wherever you go. This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to recite it day and night, so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do. Haven't I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (HCSB). Now, how many want Joshua’s like favor, in modern times that befits your life and experience? I suggest most desire to have all what God gave Joshua, but we are not all willing to obey, delight in the will of God, nor draw on the deep understanding in our heart for God’s use. We desire only to impress our few friends, laud ourselves over others in our self-glorified praise, yet remain in the same circumstance and condition of nowhere growth. Yet, let a person, man, who is Oprahifed touch, Trumpitfic ability, speak into our life. Then we are all over it, and cannot do it fast enough, even though we know they are fallible and imperfect. So, we deny the infallible for the fallible, right!? When the infallible get their ability from the Father; they drawn from the deep still waters within, and follow the instructions to move. Who do we think put them there?....God!?! then why don’t we obey Him? Delight in His instructions because all roads lead to triumph, victory, abundance, and blessings. Although, what you get may be what you desire, you will have more peace and smoother stay in this world, because you are in the lane you were supposed to be in, not trying to fit where you do not belong. God calls people without prior, or the appropriated training we assumed needed…because He knows what is there within us. The question is do we have the trust and faith to draw on it?
