Day 16 – When your resume doesn’t match the job description don’t forget who created you for the job.
Today’s reading: Exodus 4:1 – 8:32.
Exodus 4:10 “Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”
God didn’t stutter or question who was to save the Israelites from Egypt, He knew all along it should be Moses. But Moses questioned whether the Israelites would believe him that God chose him, so God provided Moses with a powerful staff.
Then Moses questioned whether Pharaoh would listen to Moses because Moses wasn’t an eloquent speaker or didn’t have adequate words to say, but God said ‘Didn’t I created your mouth and tongue and provide you with the words to say?!’
Moses might not have felt capable, and alone, he possibly wasn’t capable, but with God, Moses was more than qualified. God would go before him, be with him, and be behind him every step of the way. And in the end, Mose’s incapabilities would make God’s capabilities shine Brighter than any Pharaoh, sorcerer, magician, or common man.
God created each one of us for something special, something we may never have thought we were able to do on our own, but we don’t have to rely on our own capabilities, but God’s ability to work through us.
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for creating me the way you did. Thank you for qualifying me for each call you have on me. Help me not to see myself the way the world does, but instead only see how you created me. In Jesus Name, Amen.
