God's Answers To Man's Excuses

Prepare: Make me sensitive to receive Your message, O Lord!
Read: Exodus 4:1-17

We all know our limits. When we are faced with some difficult tasks we think of excuses in order to wriggle out of the responsibility . Moses is in such a situation. The last thing he would have wanted must have been to go back to Egypt. Now God invites him to bring His people from the clutches of the mighty Pharaoh. Is it possible?

God is prepared with suitable answers to man's excuses. Here, He gives Moses convincing answers why he must undertake the task of delivering the Hebrews out of Egypt. He does the same with us. Here are some of His answers.

Makes us do the impossible: Moses must have been stunned to see his staff turning into a snake. Again, who will dare to catch a snake turning into his original staff. God is all powerful to make us do anything humanly impossible.

Works wonders for us: Now God touches Moses' body. God can do wonders with us to bring transformation in us. Thereby we are convinced that we truly belong to Him.

Meets our innate needs: God overrules our limitations and every situation that is against us to equip us to do His will. What do we need?

Provides timely help: Suddenly there appears Aaron after forty long years to be Moses' spokesman. God is wonderfully on time to help us.

Respond: Thank You Lord for Your patience with us in moulding us in Your service.
