Read Exodus 4:12-18.
When God called Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses didn’t feel ready. He doubted his ability, questioned his worth, and offered excuses. In Exodus 4:12–18, we see the tension between God’s call and Moses’ fear. Even after God promises, “I will help you speak and will teach you what to say,” Moses still pleads, “Please send someone else.”
How often are we like Moses? God places a calling or an opportunity before us—whether to speak up, serve, or lead—and instead of trusting Him, we fixate on our weaknesses. We assume that God’s work depends on our ability, forgetting that it’s really about our availability.
Yet, God doesn’t abandon Moses in his fear. Even though Moses resists, God responds with patience. He provides Aaron as a helper and reassures Moses that His presence will go with them both. God’s grace meets Moses in his insecurity.
The message for us is clear: God equips those He calls. He doesn’t require perfection—He wants obedience. When we hesitate, God offers His strength. When we doubt, He provides support. And when we falter, He remains faithful.
Lord, forgive me for the times I let fear silence my faith. Help me to trust Your voice and walk in obedience, even when I feel unqualified. Thank You for Your patience and for surrounding me with people who walk with me in faith. Teach me to rely on Your strength, not my own. Amen.
