I've been thinking a lot lately about the story where Moses meets God in the burning bush.
God is speaking through the burning bush to Moses and I've been going back and forth and God has
been explaining to him what he's going to ask of him to do after God gives him a few miracles that
he can do and shows him that he can do it, that God will show up and be powerful through him.
In verse 10, Moses said to the Lord, pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent,
neither in the past nor since you've spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.
So basically he's saying, I just can't do it. I don't know, don't have the right things to say.
God's immediate reply is this. He says, 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?
Now go, I will help you speak and I will teach you what to say. The fact is that God is in control
of all variables and to question God when he has commanded us to do something like to share
the gospel with others, to love our neighbor as ourselves, to love our enemies even.
When we question God about the kind of things that we're supposed to do and about doing the
things that we're supposed to do for him, we are forgetting his power, his ultimate sovereignty.
He is able to do through us whatever he wants to do, whether we participate or not,
whether we are willing or not. So let us be willing. Let us say, as you wish, Lord. And then
he is gracious to provide the resources and to take care of it all.
Thank you, Lord.
