Moses said to Yahweh, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.” Yahweh said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.” He said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.” Yahweh’s anger burned against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he comes out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
Exodus 4:10-14
God showed Moses some amazing miracles before He told himto go back to Egypt and speak for His people before Pharoah. Yet Moses balked, until God's anger burned against him.
Yet, God didn't just swat him away in spite of Moses' equivocation. God dealt with Moses' fear about not being eloquent and sent him Aaron.
Father, thank You for Your mercy even in the face of our unreasonable fears after having seen Your power.
Father, may I trust in Your power and love when You call me to do hard things. In Jesus' name, amen.
