Exodus 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Then Moses said to the Lord, \u201cO my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes God will put something before us that He wants us to do, but we feel completely inadequate to do it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This was the case with Moses. God had chosen him and showed him everything that He wanted Moses to do. He even assured Him that He would give Moses the words to speak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, despite all of God’s assurances, Moses asked God to find someone else for the job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do we ever find ourselves in this same situation? Has God ever asked us to do something, but we adamantly insist that He find someone else for the job?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this happens more often than most of us want to admit. We pray and pray and ask God to use us. And then when He wants to, we shrink back and ask Him to find someone else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moses pleaded with God, reminding God that he wasn’t good with words and that his words got tangled up when he tried to speak.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But I like what God said to Moses!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Exodus 4:11 (NLT) 11 Then the Lord asked Moses, \u201cWho makes a person\u2019s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a good reminder for all of us that if God asks us to do something, He will also equip us for that thing He has asked us to do!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He will never give us an assignment without equipping us. Through His word and prayer, we can learn of Him and grow close enough to Him to gain insight and understanding in His ways. In this, we will be equipped to handle those things that come our way, even when we might not think we’re prepared for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if God has placed something in front of you that He wants you to do, don’t panic. Spend time in His word daily. Learn to hear His voice. And as He calls us, so will He also equip us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
