The story of Moses is one that intrigued me for a long time, and years ago, up until a few months ago, I used to personalize myself with this man. This guy was the rejected man, the lost man, the man of wilderness even as he was in the palace. He was a complainer, isolated, a runner, unsure…..

And did I want to compare myself to one that was this type of person? Am I saying that I don’t respect the calling that God had on this prophet, no, but I’ve learned so much from this man of what I don’t want to lead by.

I know you have some insecurities that are showing up at your front door every day. Am I good enough, can I really do this task, am I one that God can really trust?

So the story of Moses…..

Exodus chapter 3

3:11 Moses protested, “who am i?”

In 12 God says, “I Am the one who sent you.”

In 13, Moses is acting out of fear, and if you think about it, it would be a place of fear, he is going back to the place he left, he murdered, he was blamed, he was snitched on……. And even though the generation that told on him were not alive anymore, he still had to face that place. He not only had to face the enemy, which was Pharaoh, but also his own people and convince them the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was bringing them out of captivity that they had been in for a few hundred years.

So, now God gives Moses a task:

•Moses questions all the abilities within himself.
•Moses feels incompetent because of who he is.
-Let's look at the facts:

a.As a baby, he was supposed to be murdered. That in itself, will cause a person to live in fear.
b.He was rescued and placed in the same palace that wanted him and all his male people destroyed.
c.He knew he wasn’t an Egyptian.
d.He was torn between two halves, and the rejection and abandonment, identity and self-worth issues continued to linger in his heart.
e.He was truly trying to seek and find who he really was. Could you imagine what his own people would think about him? Illustration.
f.When he murdered, he ran.
g.Moses was a lone wolf already in the wilderness, so God used this same situation to lead others to draw a people out from captivity and into a wilderness to the promise land.

So here we are, wondering what the calling and purpose that is in our lives. We question the motives of God, we wonder if God has called the right person, we wonder if we have anything to offer.

God says, “Go!”

And we say, “I will, but”. How can it be me? What do I have to offer? Will people even listen to me? With all the mistakes I’ve made even as a Christian, what will I really have to give? I know your sending me, but I just don’t trust myself enough and that overrides what you have to say about me? I know my pastor sees the potential in me, but, I don’t even come close to where he may be?

All these questions are the same questions that every patriarch asked themselves. But something inside of them rose up and defeated every worst enemy of their lives.

Lets get to the moving in life!!
