Commitment - Re-Commitment

DAY 5 OF 7

Arnold Gamboa: You Were Created to be Committed

Here’s an interesting conversation between God and Moses recorded in the Bible (Exodus 3,4).

Moses: “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” …

God: “I will be with you”.

Moses: “What if they do not believe me or listen to me…”

God: (shows him how to make miracles)… “This is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of your fathers… has appeared to you”

Moses: “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow in speech and tongue”.

God: “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 will teach you what to say”

Moses: “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else”.

I feel Moses’ hesitation because of his perceived limitations. But, at this point, I think God became irritated of the excuses because in verse 4:14, it says “Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses…“

You think He’s angry only when you sin? You want to see God burn in anger? Tell Him you can’t do it. That you’re not capable. That you have limitations. That you just can't. Then you’ll see fire go down from heaven and roast you alive. Or maybe not, but you get the point.

You were made by God the way He wanted you created. He gave you strengths and limitations. Nonetheless, He has great works, a purpose, a task specially fitted for you. When you sense God calling you to do something in the church, in your workplace, in your family, in your career and feel that you can’t do it … remember Moses.

Prayer: Lord, when I’m tempted to doubt you and your purpose for me, when I feel I’m not capable of pursuing your will in my life, please remind me of the great work you have prepared in advance for me to do. In Jesus name, amen.
