Suppose you had important information to pass onto someone in a remote area, without access to technology. You want to send this information by a trusted messenger. Giving the messenger the information is only part of this situation’s need. You must equip the messenger with everything needed for the task. So you give them all the training, supplies, warnings, and resources to be able to accomplish the task. So now you have a trusted messenger equipped with the necessary resources.
Hebrews 13:20-21 says, “Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to who be glory forever and ever. Amen.” We trust God to work within us to provide every good attribute and ability to do His will. When we fully trust Him in this way, we please Him by becoming the person He wants us to be and by doing all that He has called us to do. We become His trusted messengers to bring good news to the world.
