Exodus 1-3, Psalm 17
Exodus 3:11-12 (NLT)
“But Moses protested to God, ‘Who am I to appear before
Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?’ God answered, ‘I
will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you:
When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this
very mountain.’”
In Exodus 3:11–12, Moses demonstrates a common human
reaction when the Lord calls someone to a difficult task. Moses expresses fear,
doubt, inadequacy, and a sense of unworthiness to lead the people of Israel out
of Egypt. The Lord does not answer Moses’ concern about his worthiness or
self-esteem. Instead, Father-God reassures Moses with a simple but powerful
promise: “I will be with you.” The Lord redirects Moses’ focus away from
himself and onto God’s faithfulness and purpose. He also gives Moses a sign,
declaring that Moses will one day bring the people back to worship Him at Mount
Sinai—confirming that this deliverance is God’s plan.
These verses remind me that feelings of fear, doubt, and
inadequacy are normal when the Lord asks us to do something that stretches us.
When the Lord called me to write stories that would lead people toward Him, I
felt many of the same emotions Moses expressed. Every believer has a role in
Father-God’s plan, and our lack of self-confidence should not prevent us from
obeying His call. When I acknowledged my feelings of inadequacy, the Holy
Spirit reminded me that I could rely on the Lord’s help. As long as I focused
on myself and my fears, I remained stuck. I was trying to write on my own, and
my doubt and sense of unworthiness kept interfering with my work.
When I began to rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, my
fears quieted. Now, I depend on His guidance each day as I write, and He helps
silence the inner voice that asks, “Who am I to write stories that inspire
others to seek the Lord?” Instead of focusing on my limitations, I choose to
trust in Father-God and remember how faithful He has been in my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who promises to be with you in every plan
He has for your life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to
Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
