"Yes and Amen"
Deuteronomy 10:12
New International Version
12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
When you encounter opportunities to serve the Lord, how do you respond? God wants us to be servants willing to seek His specific plan for our life and to do whatever He calls us to do. He uniquely gifts His followers to serve according to His will. But if we’ve already decided what we can’t, won’t, or are ill-equipped to do, then we’re acting by our own will. We don’t want to miss the blessings that come with trusting God.
Laying down our excuses is the wisest thing we can do to serve the Lord. Trust that He will empower you to
accomplish whatever He calls you to do—and will see to it that you are properly equipped and trained. All He asks of you is that you say yes.
