Follow in Faith
“Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” Exodus 4:12 (NIV)
Excuses are for our own convincing when we are afraid to commit, but God works with our frailty and leads only as we follow in faith. Moses didn’t think he was the man God needed but that is precisely why God was able to use him. We ought not to rely on our own abilities when we are to act for God’s glory, but in our faithful action He leads and empowers us.
We follow in faith believing that God will do what we can not do for ourselves. There is no impediment to our physical body or human life that the Lord can not turn around as a witness for His glory and as a reminder for us to stay reliant on Him.
Let’s pray today that we may be ready to respond to our Lord’s commands in faithful obedience.
