Moses call and excuses (Ex:6)

Well hello my fellow Christians. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
   Have you ever thought you were somewhat like Moses?  Well, we are - Moses made excuses of why he could not do what God called him to do.  These, of course, were to no avail - yet he did offer excuses. Today we will just talk about his first 3 excuses.
  When Moses was running ahead of God, killed the Egyptian and thought this was for his fellow Hebrews he was quite bold.  Now that he has an encounter with God and knew what God wanted him to do - this brave bold man becomes a coward of sort and has a line of excuses.
   First he says he is not worthy - Exodus 3:11 "And Moses said unto God, Who am I that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
  Well, in verse 12 God tells Moses that "Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee; When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain." (Mount Horeb)
  Sometimes we are uncertain about what God wants us to do, but then after our obedience we are confirmed, this is what God wanted.  God wants us to be people of faith, following His leading and doing what we understand to be His will.  When we have completed the task and look back over it, we can see God was leading us all the way as did Moses.  Well, 3 months after Moses led the people of of Egypt they came to Mount Horeb.   Okay, back to Moses.
    Moses' next excuse is "I don't know enough about God"; oh, have you heard this before?  Moses was complaining because he did not think he knew enough and in Exodus 3:14 God tells Moses to say "I AM WHO I AM" hath sent me.  This way the children of Israel will know he was sent from God.  Some theologians believe that in the phrase "I AM WHO I AM" the first word is pointing forward and the second word pointing backward indicating of God that He has been in the past and will be in the future FAITHFUL.
   The same God who protected Abraham, gave a miracle child of Isaac; wrestled with Jacob and changed his name to Israel is the same God that we can depend on.
   Now excuse 3 - Nobody will believe me (Exodus 4:1-9).  Can you imagine, by this time God is probably becoming irritated so he shows Moses 3 signs.
  1- God told Moses to cast down his rod; it turned into a snake; God said grab it by the tail - it returned to being a rod.
  Sign 2 - God told Moses to put his hand in his bosom, pull it out and it was leprous; but it back in, then pull out again - it was normal flesh again.
  Sign 3 - then verse 9 ".......:thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land."
   Don't you think this would be enough?  Moses still had "excuses" with 2 more to come.  We have to remember Moses used the excuse many of us use in that "I don't have a dynamic testimony; people will not believe that I have a message from God."
   Well, God has not given us the job of forcing others to believe.  He has called us to follow Him and to obey His leadership.  In the Bible all the signs had a purpose, and these signs would validate Moses' message from God.
   Food for thought: what may God be leading you to do?  Are you making excuses for not acting on HIS leadership, evaluate the validity of your reasoning.  Are you will for GOD to make you willing?
  May we all learn from Moses and put away our excuses. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
