Before you build, you count the cost. Not just the price, but whether you have what it takes to finish. Jesus isn’t calling us to start things we’re not equipped to complete—He’s calling us to build with His sufficiency, not ours.
Like the tower in Luke 14, what God is building in you is meant to withstand attack and see clearly in every direction. But we must be honest: on our own, we’re deficient. Just like Philip saw the crowd and knew the bread wasn’t enough, we often see lack.
But Paul reminds us: “Our sufficiency is of God.” His grace is enough—even in weakness. When we count the cost, we must also count on Him.
