TODAY’S WORD FOR WEDNESDAY JUNE 24, 2015.
NOW GO
To move or proceed to; to leave a place.
Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say. Exodus 4:12 NIV
As we observe those that believe in Jesus as their Savior most do very little to share their faith with others. Some are fearful that they cannot answer the questions that may come from a non-believer. Others are fearful that they will be considered as “odd balls” or “religious freaks.”
Others are just like Moses was years ago when God called him to lead the children of Israel out of the bondage of Egypt. Moses was reluctant to obey God. He gave various reasons that you can read in Exodus 4. Moses questioned his own identity and worthiness, his lack of authority, his credibility and acceptability, and his incapacity. God answered each of the excuses that Moses gave and we need to note that God was angry with Moses for resisting what He had asked him to do.
Now put yourself in the place of Moses. No doubt God will direct you to a smaller responsibility -- not to lead 2 million people -- but God expects His children, you and I, to respond when He calls.
Maybe God has laid it on your heart to talk to someone at work, a neighbor or a friend about their relationship with the Lord. Compare the excuses that Moses gave God to how you thought. Did you question your ability, tell God or said to yourself that you were not qualified or that you would not be accepted and probably ridiculed?
But God clearly responded to Moses just as He will respond to you. We may have similar fears, as Moses did, but when God calls us to do something for Him He will say, NOW GO; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say. When God sends us somewhere to represent Him, He comes alongside of us giving us all the support we will need.
Our memory verse for this week is found in Colossians 3:4:
When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
Give me the courage to “Go” when Your Holy Spirit opens a door and tells me to go. May I be bold and ready to go and tell others that Jesus wants to have a relationship with them.
