Are You Available to Be Sent?

In Exodus 3:10, God speaks plainly.

“So now, go. I am sending you.”

Before Moses ever questions his ability, before insecurity rises to the surface, God asks something far more fundamental than competence.

Availability.

Are you available to be sent, or are you too busy protecting yourself?

Too busy maintaining comfort?

Too busy enjoying the pleasures of Western success?

Too busy building your business to be about God’s business?

Often, it is the most successful who are the least available. Achievement can quietly replace obedience. Security can slowly suffocate surrender. Comfort has a way of convincing us that staying put is wisdom, when in reality it is fear disguised as responsibility.

To be available means you must be willing to leave where you are and go where God wants you. It means laying aside your business in order to embrace God’s business. It means getting off the couch of comfort within the four walls of your home and being sent into the harvest field within your city, your region, and beyond.

Availability requires movement.

It also means releasing control of your time. It means surrendering your schedule, your plans, and your carefully managed life so that God can lead you within your time. Availability is not about having extra space in your calendar. It is about giving God permission to interrupt it.

Throughout human history, God has consistently chosen ordinary people who were simply willing to respond to His voice. It is rarely the ones celebrated by human wisdom who say yes first. More often, it is the overlooked, the unqualified, and the interruptible.

God is not concerned with your talent. He is not limited by your weakness. He is not searching for impressive resumes or perfected lives.

He is looking for availability.

The kingdom of God does not advance because people are gifted. It advances because people are willing.

So I ask again.

Are you available to be sent?

Or are you content watching from the sidelines, settled into comfort, complacency, and self preservation?

God is still speaking.

God is still sending.

The question is not whether He is calling.

The question is whether you are available.
