The Lord Be With You Today!
Exodus 4:11-12
The Lord said to him, "Who gave human beings their mouths?
Who makes them deaf or mute?
Who gives them sight or makes them blind?
Is it not I, the Lord?
(In a jolting response to Moses' concerns
about his lack of eloquence which would result in his inability
to be persuasive to the Egyptians and to the Israelites.
the Lord answers Moses with His Own questions,
and, by so doing, refocuses Moses on the bigger picture.
Though Moses' concern was real as he reasoned his speech issues
would hamper both camps in understanding
that they needed to obey the Lord's command,
he needed to know that the Lord God is sovereign.
We are still ego-centered today.
How often today do we center our attention on ourselves,
on our own assessment of us and our world through our eyes,
instead of looking to the One Who created us
and Who has said He has plans for each one of us to fulfill
and, like Moses, a mission to complete.)
Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."
(Recognizing our own limitations is a first step,
reminding us of our very real need for this God
Who has called us out of the desert to do a work for Him.
The next step is to look to the Lord and listen to His Voice
as He promises once again that, as our very Creator,
He will equip us, empower us, help us, and teach us.
When we really know and focus on Who God really is,
we realize how foolish are our fear and our lack of faith.)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
In Christ's love,
Blessings!
