Say Yes to God

 Scripture:

“But Moses said, “O my Lord, please send anyone else whom you wish to send!”” Exodus‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭NET‬‬

Observation:

Moses understood that he was not a good communicator and that he would probably make Israel look bad if he spoke before Pharaoh. God was asking him to do the one thing he always struggled with, but was asking him to speak to the most powerful man in the world at that time. Moses asked the Lord to please send anyone else but him. In the end, Moses went and did incredible signs. His feeling of insufficiency caused it to be even more of a miracle.

Application:

God usually tells us to do things that are impossible without Him. He demonstrates His power in our weakness. He gets glory when we understand that we don’t have what it takes to accomplish what He tells us to do. God never lets us stay in our comfort zone. He always challenges us to do things we feel incapable of. Our job is to respond in faith and do what He speaks. 

Prayer:

Father, help me to always say yes to You. Help me never make excuses for not doing what You are asking me. Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. Let my life bring You glory. Use me for Your purposes. Help me to never be confident in the flesh, but to lean on You at all times knowing what Jesus said, “Apart from me, you can do nothing.”

Forever Yours,

Jeff
