Now go, and do as I have told you . I will help you speak well, and I will tell you what to say."  But Moses again pleaded, "Lord, please! Send someone else."

Think about this… Moses had a burning bush experience, a true miracle. He had the strength and assurance of the actual Creator of the universe behind him, and all he finally did was just DO what G-d said, and he gets written-up in the best selling book of all times! They even made several movies about Moses, and he whined the most! 

G-d accomplishes His purposes through people, regular folks who are simply those whom He chooses. 

What character trait made Moses so special that he was G-d’s chosen vessel?

He was humble. He did not think highly of his own abilities. He knew this job was impossible. But he also was going to be used in more ways than just being G-d’s man to face the Pharaoh. Little did he know that he was also going to get to write his own story with all his blemishes and weaknesses showing so that you and I and everyone else who reads the Bible could learn from his life.

When people ask how you can be sure that it was G-d who had people write the Bible, I sometimes use the example of Moses and the Jews . If you were writing a book about your life and adventures (Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible) would you put in all of the embarrassing things you did? Or would you edit out or at least put a better “spin” on your screw-ups? Moses, like the other Bible writers was directed by G-d as to EXACTLY what to write .

Just like a potter chooses to make one lump of clay into fine china and the next lump into an ashtray, G-d chose Moses to be the man through whom He would deliver the Israelites, and evil Pharaoh to be the unwilling recipient of G-d’s wrath in order to free His people .  

Proverbs 16:4 The LORD has made everything for His own purposes, even the wicked for punishment.

Did you know that?

Our Scriptures are designed to help us understand G-d’s ways so when we see Him working in our lives we will recognize, or  “see” Him . But again, if you don’t study your Scriptures you won’t know G-d’s will because you won’t recognize it .

John 10:27 My sheep (believers) recognize My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.

Let’s talk about Peter for a minute. People get on him for his lack of faith after he jumped out of the boat and began walking on the water, only to sink moments later. Would YOU have even gotten out of the boat into a stormy sea? He was doing great walking on the water while he was being obedient to Yeshua. But when he looked with his eyes at the situation, to the circumstances of the wind, the rain, the storm, and he felt the water moving under his feet, then his focus shifted to his own ability to walk on water, and he sunk.

Matthew 14:29-33 "All right, come," Yeshua said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water towards Yeshua. But when he looked around at the high waves, he was terrified and began to sink. "Save me, Lord!" he shouted. Instantly Yeshua reached out His hand and grabbed him. "You don't have much faith," Yeshua said. "Why did you doubt Me?" And when they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. Then the disciples worshiped Him. "You really are the Son of G-d!" they exclaimed.

The key to success in this life is to keep your eyes and heart fixed on G-d, not on what you see, feel, or hear. There will be raging seas and storms in your life. But there is also always G-d who never forsakes you. TRUST HIM!

Matthew 19:26 Yeshua looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with G-d everything is possible."

We have a BIG G-D! We have the G-d that CREATED wisdom so He is SMART! When He chooses us, He has a plan and it is always a WINNING plan! He chose you to be a believer, to be a part of His chosen family, so you can be sure He has a plan for your life.

Ok, let’s talk about your feelings when G-d calls you to do a G-d-sized task . If the “great” Moses can have a lack of faith even after G-d appears to him in a burning bush, do you think it will
