2 Corinthians 3:5 
It is not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God. (CSB)

It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. (NLT)

Corinth was a church that loved celebrity preachers. (See chapter 3.) They also highly esteemed the significantly gifted. (See chapters 12-14.) Paul reminded them that it is neither the gifted nor the gifts that matter most. What matters most is the Source.

God is the source of qualified and gifted leaders. He is their Creator. He is the One to whom they are each accountable. Spiritual leadership depends neither on natural abilities nor unearned characteristics. Spiritual leadership depends completely on God and how he leads those he places in positions of leadership.

Every leader with spiritual responsibility must hold this conviction as a core conviction. It is unwise to follow any leader unwilling or incapable of acknowledging this truth.

I will trust God to provide the competency necessary for what he calls me to do.

Our Father, I trust you to lead me and to provide for me what I need to accomplish your purpose for my life. Amen.
