Doubts Moses faced

In Life Transition :

Doubts Moses faced with God’s New Assignment (Exodus 3:1-4:12)

---- When The Lord asked him to bring Israelites out of Egypt

A. The excuse of one’s own Identity (3:11)

Who am I ? That I should go ….

Answer : I’ll be with you.

You would worship me in this mountain !

• The presence of God is our identity.

• The sign of worshipping Him is our identity

B. The excuse of whose Authority (3:13)

Whose authority ? What is his name ?

Answer : The Self Existing One ----- I am who I am.

The Covenant God ------The God of Abraham, Isaac and God of Jacob

C. The excuse of Others’Unbelief (4:1)

Assume others would not believe ! They will not listen !

Answer : Hold My staff ! Trust A God of Miracles !

• Miracle of staff turning into snake

• Miracle of clean or leprosy hands

• Miracle of water into blood

D. The excuse of one’s Gift (4:10)

I have never been eloquent ! I am slow in speech & tongue !

Answer : Who gives men mouth ?

I will help and teach !

E. The excuse of Someone Else (4:13)

Please send someone else to do it !

Answer : What about your brother Aaron the Levite?!

I know he can speak well!

All the above excuses from Moses when facing God's new & immense assignment make me think of my own transition too in coming days .

• Are there any doubts of identity ?

• Are there any mistrust of the supreme authority ?

• Are there doubts of the responses from others ?

• Are there no confidence on own gifts ?

• Are there excuse of someone better than own self ?

Lord ! Help me to overcome human frailty.
Help me to affirm what you affirm! Amen !
