Feel like God is slow in using you in a big way? Spiritual preparation and plowing take time.
(Note to self) Keep in mind that Levites weren't considered fully priests until the age of 30, and Jesus was that age when He began His priestly ministry.
Continue in pursuit of godliness with contentment (not complacency). The Lord has you exactly where He wants you. If He wanted you somewhere else, He would have spirited/teleported you like He did with Phillip.
The fact that He hasn't done so, means you are where He wants you to be. His ways are higher than your ways and truly, His thoughts and goals for you are better than the thoughts and goals you have for yourself.
"For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” And so, after Abraham had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. ...Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things: in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation; who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us." ~Hebrews 6:13-15,17-18
"Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him." ~Isaiah 30:18
