Moses Is Called

Exodus 3:10

"Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt."

During the early decades of Moses' life, he decided to his pleasure that he was being prepared to deliver Israel out of bondage. It seemed logical—the circumstances of his birth and subsequent adoption by the house of Pharaoh, his education, mental abilities, oratorical skills—it all fit! But then he was forced out of Egypt in disgrace and became a mere sheepherder, an occupation loathed by the Egyptians (Genesis 46:34). And now four decades had passed and his pride was trampled in the dust of Midian.

Moses then shows his doubts to be used of God (in Verse 11) when he asks, 'Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?'" Ah, humility, he is finally ready.

Truth be told who are any of us, that we should do or say anything on behalf of God? ALL of us are disqualified for ministry, but when we are called we should go because He will do the work in and through us. His strength is perfected in our weakness. We can't do it, but He can - So send I you.

The Truth

‘And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.’ (2 Corinthians 12:9)
