WHAT EXCUSE DO YOU HAVE?
Then Moses said to the Lord, “But, Lord, I am telling you, I am not a good speaker. I have never been able to speak well. And that hasn’t changed since you started talking to me. I am still not a good speaker.
You know that I speak slowly and don’t use the best words.” Then the Lord said to him, “Who made a person’s mouth? And who can make someone able to speak? Who can make a person able to see? I am the one. I am the Lord. So go. I will be with you when you speak. I will give you the words to say.” But Moses said, “My Lord, I beg you to send someone else, not me.”
Then the Lord became angry with Moses and said, “All right! I’ll give you someone to help you. Aaron the Levite is your brother, isn’t he? He is a good speaker. In fact, Aaron is already coming to meet you, and he will be happy to see you. I will tell you what to say. Then you will tell Aaron, and I will help him say it well. I will tell both of you what to do.
So Aaron will speak for you. Like God, you will speak to him, and he will tell the people what you say. (Exodus 4:10-16 ERV)
Wow, what a touching story! Moses had enough reasons not to do it like many people today. I know a lot of people will say,"am a shy person, no body will listen to me, my work takes my time, my school, my parents etc."
Moses reasons were so real to the senses but have you ever asked yourself why was God angry even when he knew about Moses limitations. I guess God wanted to proof his power through him but Moses still wouldn't see into the plan rather he was concentrating on his weakness. If you are reading this message now, probably you are also concentrating on your weakness, the spirit of God want you to see the bigger picture. Believe me, You stand to gain so much if you choose to let God use you in bringing the good news of salvation to others in your sphere of contact.
Today, I charge everyone of us to Let the love of God which has been shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Spirit, move us to think and act differently. Let's yield ourselves to the move of the spirit regardless of our limitations. Glory to God.
