"It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God." -2 Corinthians 3:5 NLT

On October 13, 2019, 15-year-old Coco Gauff became the youngest 
WTA singles champion when she beat 22-year-old, Jelena Ostapenko (6-3, 1-6, 6-2). With her play on the tennis court, Gauff has put the sports world on notice that despite her age, she is here to stay.

This reminds me of the story of David & Goliath in the Bible (1 Samuel 17). In this story, Saul, the first king of Israel, initially doubted David’s ability to defeat Goliath because of his youth and stature. But God! He enabled David to defeat and kill Goliath with a stone and a sling and he cut Goliath’s head off with Goliath’s own sword (1 Samuel 17:40-50).

In life, you should never doubt yourself or think that you can’t accomplish something because of a deficiency or what people may say. Know that God loves you very much and that you are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalms 139:14). God wouldn’t tell you to do anything He hasn’t given you the ability to accomplish. With God, you can do all things!
