How do we know that God equips those He calls?

Answered in 1 source

God assures that He will equip those He calls, as seen with Moses when He promises to be with his mouth.

The assurance that God equips those He calls is vividly illustrated through the story of Moses. When Moses expresses his reluctance to speak due to a lack of eloquence, God's response is profound and reassuring. In Exodus 4:11, God asks Moses, 'Who made man's mouth?' This indicates that God is fully capable of enabling someone to fulfill the role He has called them to. Moreover, God's promise to be with Moses' mouth and teach him what to say reinforces that it is not our ability that matters, but God’s grace and power working through us. This principle is echoed in 2 Corinthians 2:16, where Paul states that God makes us sufficient ministers of the New Testament, emphasizing that effectiveness in ministry comes solely through divine enablement.
