When we are going to a destination that we are not familiar with, we will need maps and navigation aids.
When we are going to embark on a project, we will need to have the drawings, the blueprints and if possible a scale model.
When Jesus sent out His disciples on the mission, He only gave them the authority over the unclean spirits.
His instruction to them is, literally, nothing – take nothing for the journey.
To our minds, that is difficult to accept, because there are too many uncertainties and inadequacies.
This is where we, like to disciples, will have to act with faith and walk by faith.
Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
He has absolute authority over all creation and over everything.
Jesus has authority over us and He will provide for us and also protect us.
So we don’t have to be suitable or certain or sufficient.
We only need to be available for Jesus and be obedient to what He wants us to do.
