Exodus 4

Exodus 4:10-11 speak straight to my heart because I was born with ear problems which led to speech problems.  For many years I had to deal with tubes and speech therapy.  As a kid, I knew I had something wrong so I didn't speak.  Then of course, I had to take speech in both high school and college and I swear to this day, I am not sure how I passed either course...and today, I am a minister.  I totally connect with Moses' excuse with the mouth, but I also connect with God's power to deliver Moses through it, because He has delivered me as well.  I am blessed to be able to speak for His Kingdom.

    chapter 4 spoke to me that when we are called out of our comfort Zone we have to know God has our back no matter how big or how small !! - Marsha

    God calls, empowers, confronts and sends reluctant Moses to Egypt.
    4:1. What if..
    4:10. But...excuses
    4:14. Please send some one else..
    Do those words ever sound familiar to me. I was a master if the "what if" game until I learned how to play it. It takes me recognizing then facing my fears to win. God in His mercy often gives us an Aaron to walk with us into our fears. Isn't He good to us! When we, like the Hebrews, believe that God hears us and sees us, we now down and worship. - Claire

  2. Then the Lord said to him, "what is that in your hand?" "A staff" he replied. The Lords said, "throw it on the ground." The staff was his ID, his security and God asks him to throw it down. What is God asking us to throw down? - Blaine

  3. "Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." I use this all the time. I always pray for the Holy Spirit to take over what to say and when to say it. - Linda
