Sébastien BourdonMoses was unlike any other prophet before or after, a unique man. When he was young he saw the plight of the Israelites in Egypt but he had to flee to Moab because he killed an Egyptian.
I have enjoyed, am grateful and amazed at the story of Moses in his encounter at the burning bush.
Moses response to God when He tells him to go to Egypt to bring His people out of Egypt in Genesis 3:11 is “…’Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?’”
What a common answer by Moses and so true of many people. I have experienced this when I was younger and feeling shame in how well I spoke and being verbal in relationships. I thought many times and struggle still asking, who am I to speak and do the Lord’s work. This is deeply comforting to know that Moses was not some special super human man. God is what happened here, He was there. It is great to see so many things about God that makes the difference in Moses life. Also with Jeremiah who said in Jeremiah 1:6 “Then I said, ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” Moses also speaks to God about his speech and God said “Who has made the Mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?.” “Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” The response of God is trust in Him.
