Following the Trail of God's Promises: The 40-Day ChallengeSample

20. God Calls Moses

When God called Moses to go before Pharaoh, in order to bring God's people out of Egypt, Moses asked God: “Who am I that I should go?” Moses understands his weakness. He realizes that he is not ready for such an important and huge undertaking. Then God answers him, “I will be with you.” Are there any words that can encourage us more than these? God knows that we as humans are not sufficient. He knows very well all our shortcomings, all that we cannot do and all that we do not have. God knows about all our cares and worries. He knows about every little thing that bothers us. But no matter how unprepared or inadequate we feel for what God is calling us to, if God is with us it completely changes the matter. When God says He will be with us, that is enough. At every moment of our lives, we can be sure that He sympathizes with us and will give us strength when we need it.

That's how our God is. So holy and exalted that even the angels hide their faces before Him, and at the same time so merciful and compassionate towards those who are His. Therefore, let's bring all our worries and all our shortcomings before the Lord, knowing that He guides us and is always with us.
