Exodus 4:11 (NKJV) 11 So the Lord said to him, \u201cWho has made man\u2019s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As we talked about last week in one of our recent devotionals, God was explaining to Moses that He wanted him to go to Pharaoh and tell him to let the people of Israel go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Moses was less than excited about the prospect of this. He was, as he kept explaining to God, \u201cslow of speech\u201d and could not talk very well (as if God didn\u2019t already know this!).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But God replied with the words above, assuring Moses that He was well aware of who He had chosen. He had, after all, created him!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is something that comes across as pretty comical, since many of us are guilty of the same thing. We question God\u2019s choices or His ways of doing things, as though He might need our counsel or our help with the decisions He makes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We need to rest assured that if, or when, God chooses someone to do something, He has specific reasons for doing so. And His reasons are never wrong. Nor are they lacking in judgment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We may think we lack what it takes, but it\u2019s important to understand that if we do<\/em> lack, God will supply us with whatever we lack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sometimes it might even be because<\/em> we lack that He chooses us, so we don\u2019t get haughty, thinking that our own skills or talents were the key to our success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whenever I think of this, I am reminded of Job being very strongly assured of the very same thing by God Himself, as God made sure that Job remembered who He\u00a0answered to!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Job 38:4 (NKJV) 4 \u201cWhere were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s safe to say that if God chooses us, we\u2019re better off not to try to argue with Him. He\u2019s never, ever wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
