Putting Your Trust In God, Not Yourself…

Moses seemed to have no confidence in himself when God asked Him to speak to Pharaoh. He whined and complained, and told God to pick someone else. But despite his lack of confidence in himself and unwillingness to go speak, God used him anyway. God granted Moses everything he needed to overcome his faults and lack of confidence. Look at the results. If God can do it with Moses, He certainly can do it with you. He only requires a desire to know Him, being honest with yourself, and put whatever trust you can muster in Him, not ourselves. Moses experienced the rewards of being faithful, and so can we. Times may change, and people may change, but God doesn’t. He always honors those that honor Him. It starts with humility, which really means, putting your trust in God, not yourself.

28 When the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 He said to him, “I am the Lord! Tell Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, everything I am telling you.” 30 But Moses argued with the Lord, saying, “I can’t do it! I’m such a clumsy speaker! Why should Pharaoh listen to me?” Exodus 6:28-30
