NO EXCUSE
15th May 2020
READ: Exodus 4:1-16
“…Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” - Exodus 4:10 (NASB)
God calls people with an inferiority complex. All of us have things about us that give us an inferiority complex! Your inferiority complex makes you feel that God
should choose somebody else. Moses felt that he could not speak as well as other people, so he asked the Lord to send someone else.
Be careful with your prayer requests because God got angry with Moses for constantly questioning his call. God had invested in him over the years. God had protected him from the Egyptians and trained him in the Egyptian palaces. When it was time for him to step out in ministry he gave excuses. But there is no excuse, no matter how humble-sounding it is, that is good enough for you to reject the call of God.
The miracles of Moses did not have the effect Moses expected (Exodus 5:22-23). Moses was disappointed in God and in himself. Perhaps you have had some disastrous disappointments in the ministry. These disappointments should not be taken as indications of whether you are called or not. Being called has nothing to do with things working or things not working out! Being called is all about your conviction of God having appointed you to His service.
