Father, Your timing could not have been better with
this. I so needed to hear from You these very words of reassurance.
My commentary said, “The burning bush was a picture of what God had planned
for Moses: he was the weak bush, but God was the empowering fire and with
God’s help, Moses could accomplish anything.”
About Moses’ thoughts of his own inadequacy: “What
Moses thought of himself, or what others thought of Moses, really wasn’t
important. God had spoken and that was all Moses needed for
assurance that he was the right man for the job. ‘I will be with you’ is all
the assurance God’s servants need in order to succeed.”
About Moses’ concerns as a speaker: “Moses completely
missed the message of God’s name and God’s miraculous power. ‘I AM’ is all
that we need in every circumstance of life, and it’s foolish for us to
argue, ‘I am not’ … Moses was making the mistake of looking at himself
instead of looking to God.”
About Moses’ thoughts that someone else could do it
better: “Moses calls Him ‘Lord’ and yet refuses to obey His
orders. If God isn’t Lord of all, He isn’t Lord at all… One
of the most painful judgments God can send is to let His people have
their own way.”
Wrapping it up, “God knows us better than we know ourselves,
so we must trust Him and obey what He tells us to do. When
we tell God our weaknesses, we aren’t sharing anything He doesn’t
already know. The will of God will never lead you where the
power of God can’t enable you, so walk by faith in His promises.”
Father God, I TRUST YOU. I’m depending on You
to get us through this part of life. Help me to hear and obey. Show
me how You’re combining everything You’ve taken me through for such a time
as this. You’ve seen our troubles. You’ve heard my cries.
You are concerned. Come down and be God of these
circumstances and Lord of all.
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
