Day 40 Bible Reading

Exodus 4-5, 6: 1-12, Matthew 26: 31-46, Psalm 21: 1-7

Exodus 4: 10-12 (ESV)

“But Moses said to the Lord, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.””

Verses 10 through 12 from Exodus 4 makes me think of all the excuses I have given God as to why I’m not capable of some of the tasks he’s give me. I’m not this or that or whatever. But these verses remind us that God created everything and if he is with us, then he can help us figure out how to get the task done if we rely on him for help. It is amusing to think of God doing some earthly mundane task like “asking a boss for a raise”, but if that is the task God wants me to do then he must know the best way to get it done and have the best outcome. And if God helped Moses deliver his people out of slavery in Egypt, then God is surely capable of helping us with our tasks which probably aren’t as nearly impossible as what Moses had before him.
