YOU’RE UP TO THE TASK
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God (2 Corinthians 3:5).
The word “sufficiency” in our text is derived from the Greek word “hikanotes,” which means competence; being qualified enough to be able. It means to be “up to the task.” When the Scripture says, “...our sufficiency is of God,” it means our ability, our competence, our “being up-to-the-task,” is of God. No matter the challenges you might face in life, you’re up to the task; you’re competent to face whatever comes out against you and win.

You’re not to rely on, or boast of, your human ability but of the life
of Christ in you when you’re faced with any daunting task. God has given
you a life that makes you competent. That’s why the Apostle Paul said
in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.” The Lord wants you to have the “I can do” mentality.
Anytime you feel incompetent or when others describe you as incapable, declare to yourself, “The life of God is in me, therefore, I can do all things; I’m up to any task.”
