Many times people get to thinking that they do not have any real worth, that they are a ‘no-body’. They look back over their life and battle to see anything that is, in their eyes, worth anything. We base our assessment on what the media tells us makes a successful person. The media, tell us that young, good looking, slim/fit, people are the ones who are successful. Is this an accurate assessment?
In Exodus 3:1-12 you have the story of Moses and the burning bush. God tells Moses that he will have to go back to <st1:country-region w:st="on">Egypt</st1:country-region> and lead his people out of <st1:country-region w:st="on">Egypt</st1:country-region> and to a beautiful prosperous land God will show him. Listen to what Moses replies.
Ex 3:11
But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of <st1:country-region w:st="on">Egypt</st1:country-region>?"
Sound familiar? He also thought that he was not up to the job God had assigned him. God knew better. Moses then proceeds to ask God a bunch of questions, trying to find a reason to NOT do God’s bidding. Eventually he just outright says,
Ex 4:13
13 But Moses said, "O Lord, please send someone else to do it."
Moses just straight out asks God to send someone else. Would you or I have been any different, probably not? We are still finding excuses NOT to do what God has told us to do.
God has chosen Christians to do His work, we have been told to teach, to encourage to build each other up, to show to the world the true Spirit of God to those who do not know God.
How many of us look for excuses for not doing this work. We believe that we are not good enough; we believe we are unable to do the work. We, just like Moses did, look for excuses and reasons for not doing Gods work.
Remember one thing, God has chosen you, the Christian. Therefore you CAN do the task. God said so.
Once again, we do not intend to ‘run’ your life for you. The choices are yours to make, but you need to know all of the facts to make a good decision. Do not just accept what has been written, read the scriptures for yourselves and see what God has said.
