No More Excuses

Who am I that I should go? That was the question Moses asked God and gave Him every reason why he was the wrong candidate for the mission. But God was adamant that he was just the right person, telling Moses: “Certainly I will go with thee” (Ex 33:12).

“I can’t.” “I don’t know how.” Do these comments sound familiar? If God called you to a task, He would equip you and go with you to successfully carry it out. Although he felt inadequate to go initially, Moses yielded to God and led the Hebrews out of four hundred years of Egypt’s bondage. But what if God has called you to endure a difficult time, stretching your faith? Whatever your misgivings, tell Him your concerns but trust Him to carry out His purposes. God will “certainly go with you”—His power and wisdom dwell within you; you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Phil 4:13). Who knows? Your obedient service may set captives free from sin’s bondage; part of that freedom may be yours.
