Exodus 1-3, Matthew 26: 1-30, Psalm 25: 1-7
Exodus 3: 11-12 (ESV)
“But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to
Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “But I will be
with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you
have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
In verses 11 and 12 from Exodus 3, we read what Moses answered
when God told him of his mission. I can see how this scene with Moses is repeated
with almost everyone who God calls to be on mission for him. When I discerned
what I think is God’s plan for my life, I had the same reaction. There was
nothing in my life that that prepared me for what I think is God’s plan for my
life. I had the same, still have the same lack of self-confidence in my own
abilities to fulfill God’s mission.
So I love how God responded to Moses. God told Moses, “I will
be with you”, which means Moses had nothing to fear. Even if Moses thought he
didn’t have the abilities to fulfill God’s plan, God will be able to supernaturally
help him. Moses had such faith and confidence in God, that he took God up on
his offer and did as he asked. We should all have the faith of Moses to go
where God commands us to and do what he wants us to fulfill his plan on earth.
