Unfiltered: Living Raw, Real, + Redeemed by Jesus

DAY 1 OF 5

WHAT'S IN YOUR HAND?

Moses repeatedly responded to God’s call with a response that resembled, “Please don’t pick me. You’ve overestimated who I am.” Moses was aware of the abuse his people, the Israelites, had endured. He deeply feared Pharaoh and didn’t want to have to be the one to face him, especially with so many lives hanging in the balance. His insecurity drowned out his ability to hear what God was really saying—“Moses, I Am!” God was fully aware that Moses felt too small, too weak, and incapable of being the man for this job. However, Moses’s life is a wonderful example of a powerful truth—God can use anyone to accomplish His will. His power is made perfect in weakness (II Corinthians 12:9).

Did you know Moses classified himself as “slow of speech and tongue”? The very weakness that was a root of insecurity for him became what God wanted to use to redeem His people. God also told Moses that his brother Aaron, a good speaker, could accompany him and help him when he felt afraid. This story reminds us that God not only uses our weaknesses to glorify His name but that He also provides practical help along the way.

Wherever God is calling you, and whatever He is asking of you, let this story bring you comfort. You are equipped for the role. He is aware of your struggles. And His power is made perfect in your weakness.

GET REAL WITH YOURSELF

Why do you think God called Moses to lead the people when He knew that Moses struggled with words?

When you read these verses in Exodus, what insecurity does it make you think of in yourself?

Do you allow others to help you in your weakness like Aaron helped Moses? Can you think of a time when someone was an “Aaron” to you or when you fulfilled this role for someone else?

GET RENEWED IN PRAYER

HEY JESUS,

Thank You for always listening to me when I pray. When I talk to You, I feel myself relaxing as I remember that You are already near. Will You help me remember this story of Moses as I respond to Your voice and discern what’s next? Remind me that my weaknesses don’t scare You, for that’s precisely what You want to use to further Your Kingdom. Thank You for not getting frustrated with me when I reiterate my worry or tell You why I’m afraid—You already know what’s on my heart and mind.

Thank You for providing people in my life who are strong where I am weak. Humble my spirit so that I can recognize and receive Your provision in these places. When there is someone around me who I can help encourage, strengthen, or support - show me.

Like Moses, sometimes my insecurities speak so loudly that I struggle to hear Your voice above them. Help me remember that You are the Great I Am. When I focus on You, I regain my footing and can respond in faith.

IN JESUS'S NAME, AMEN.
