Welcome to The Tribe Of Valor Podcast. Today, we dive into a pivotal moment in the life of Moses, as captured in Exodus 3:11-12, where he questions his own qualifications for the monumental task God has set before him. This story resonates with anyone who has ever felt inadequate or unprepared for the callings and challenges we face in life. Through Moses' encounter with God, we learn a crucial lesson: our qualification for any task does not come from our own abilities or confidence but from God's promise to be with us. Let's explore how this principle applies to our lives today.
Today, We Anchor Ourselves in: Exodus 3:11-12 "But Moses said to God, 'Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?' And God said, 'I will be with you...'"
Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush is a powerful illustration of how God calls and qualifies the seemingly unqualified for His divine purposes. Despite Moses' doubts and hesitations, God's response to his question, "Who am I," is not a direct answer to Moses' self-doubt but rather a promise of His divine presence.
God's Call Is Not Based on Human Merit: Moses' initial reaction highlights a common human response to God’s call—feeling unworthy or unqualified. God’s choice of Moses underscores that He does not call the equipped; He equips the called.
God’s Presence Qualifies Us: The assurance "I will be with you" is God's qualification. It is His presence that empowers and enables us to fulfill the tasks He assigns, irrespective of our perceived capabilities.
The Purpose Beyond the Call: God's calling of Moses was not just for Moses' sake but for a greater purpose—the liberation of the Israelites from slavery. Similarly, our callings are part of a larger, divine narrative that serves God's kingdom and purposes.
Points of "Focus Training":
Reflect on God’s Presence: Spend a minute meditating on the promise that God is with you in whatever calling He has placed on your life. Allow the truth of His omnipresence to bolster your confidence.
Acknowledge Your Dependence: Take a moment to acknowledge any feelings of inadequacy or fear you might have regarding your calling. Consciously surrender these feelings to God, trusting in His empowerment over your own qualifications.
Conclusion:
The story of Moses is a testament to God's ability to use anyone for His purposes, qualifying them through His presence and power. As we reflect on our own callings, let us remember that it is not who we are, but Who is with us that matters. God's presence is our ultimate qualification, enabling us to achieve far beyond our own limitations.
