Exodus 3:1-12

Moses is an important figure in biblical history; however, he seemed to have spent most of his life in anonymity.  After living the early part of his life among the Egyptian aristocracy, he became a shepherd and was 80-years old when God called him to a great mission.

God spoke to Moses through a magnificent revelation of power: a bush that burned with fire but was not consumed.  Moses responded to God’s call with a question:  “Who am I that I should go?”  His question makes perfect sense.  After all, he had committed a murder in Egypt and was a fugitive.  When Moses made excuses based on his incapacity, God refuted, saying, “I will be with you”.

Many times in my life, and yours also I am sure, I’ve faced circumstances that seemed beyond my capabilities.  Better candidates always came to mind – people who could fill a mission far better.  But our Heavenly Father’s answer is always the same: “I will be with you”.  Then we must understand it is not about who we are, but about the Holy One that calls us.  Thank God for being with you and trust Him when He calls you to do something you may feel unprepared for.
