Come aside from a busy world and God will energize you, enlighten you and commission you!
Exodus 3:10, “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” God promised that He would send Moses to Pharaoh 3:11, “But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt.’” Moses questioned his own ability to do what God wanted. God promised to go with him and empower him. Exodus 3:12, “And God said, I will be with you. And this will be the sign that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” All God needed from Moses was his willingness to go. God promised to give strength and power where it was needed. What was the preparation that Moses had that qualified him to do what God was asking of him?
1. He said "No" to Egypt.
2. He identified with God's people.
3. He learned to use what God gave him (A Rod).
If God Could
If God can hang the stars on high,
Can paint the clouds that drift on by;
Can send the sun across the sky,
What could He do through you?
If he can send a storm through space
And dot with trees the mountain's face;
If He, the sparrow's way can trace,
What could He do through you?
If God can do such little things
As count our hairs, or birds that sing.
Control the universe that swings,
What could He do through you?
-G. E. Wagoner
Don't let the world beat you down. Remember that you are special to God and He wants to use you. Come aside from a busy world and God will energize you, enlighten you and commission you!
God Can Do It
Longfellow could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on it, and make it worth $6000-that's genius.
Rockefeller could sign his name to a piece of paper and make it worth a million dollars-that's capital.
Uncle Sam can take gold, stamp an eagle on it, and make it worth $20.00-that's money.
A mechanic can take material that is worth only $5.00 and make it worth $50.00-that's skill.
An artist can take a fifty-cent piece of canvas, paint a picture a picture on it, and make it worth $1000-that's art.
God can take a worthless, sinful life wash it in the blood of Christ, put His Spirit in it, and make it a blessing to humanity that's salvation.
