GOLDEN text?Certainly I will b? with thef-~Exodus 3:12. Encouragement is something much needed, and not too often given. The word means to put some new thing into the heart of another, that is, to hearten and ussure him, especially in the bearing of a heavy responsibility.. Moses, in all probability the world's greatest military and national leader, was about to lead his people out from under the mighty hand of Pharaoh. His final preparation for that epochal deed and all the years to follow was a personal meeting with God. | Possibly it was the mistake Moses had made and which caused him to be sent into the back of the desert, that now caused him to move with? E Understandable Caution (Exod. 3:13). There is something remarkably fine about real humility. It commends itself to our thinking as the proper attitude of a mortal being, particularly in the face of spiritual responsibility. Neither God nor man dares entrust a high and difficult commission to foolish man who brusquely "rushes in where angels fear to, tread." The fact that one feels fully tnd unhesitatingly qualified to take over such a responsibility is almost a certain indication that he is not the man to assume it. Moses' request for1 God's backing must have been acceptable to Him, iQr.JLl?...ga.ve.-Moses n. Unlimited Authority (3:14-16). Moses went as God's messenger. He was authorized to put all the majesty and power of the Infinite One behind his words and acts. The ambassador must have credentials. God's representative has them. When "they shall say"?what an important and difficult situation that creates. The one who speaks lor God must expect not only the scornful bitterness of God's enemies, but also the unbelieving questions of those whom he seeks tp serve. "What shall I say?" asks Moses, and God answers that he may say that "I AM" had sent him. This name of God reyeals Him as the internal, independent, self-sufficient, xistent, immutable, personal >6- Consider,' Christian brethvihose we are and whom we jf Moses seems to have been unto see beyond his own human nity even in the light of such a ous revelation, supplemented as js by miraculous powers, and ir.d him showing an? Unjustified Humility (4:10-13). "haps we should not call this lity at all, for in one so divinely 1 and encouraged it was an act belief and almost impertinence, en God calls a man He knows imitations. Why then should 'cad them as an excuse, for not -S? The excuse of Moses that 1? ?ot a fluent speaker has been tar.dby of unwilling workers all gh the ages. When asked to a prayer meeting, teach a Sunschool class, conduct a young cs meeting, thousands upon ar.ds have lamely thus excused selves and missed a blessing: i perfect answer of God (v. 11) s attention. God made your h and- mine. He gives us the r ?f speech. He asks not the ence of polished rhetorical >cs, or the flights of man's i ination. He wants but the in- i arable eloquence of His own s on our lips. man should think too highly of ?lf, but let him beware lest he too lowly about God. We are sufficient for the opportunity. -*>d is more than sufficient, ving called Moses, God saw to at Moses went on with His . even though now He had to n Moses' olderhrother to help It was, in fact, Uh( Unnecessary SubsUtaUoa (4: "ng and patient far our God, n?ark it well, there ia ajtroun aary line to that patience. Moses went too far in his needless humility, and really reflected on the ability of God. God promptly substituted Aaron as the spokesman. Gracious was He in thus providing a helper for Moses. But one wonders what Moses missed of blessing and power because of his slowness of heart. To decline the labor and the responsibility of service for God means loss far greater than we may ever know. God's dealings with Moses speak eloquently to us of His willingness to enable and use a man who lacked some of the gifts for leadership. Let J none of us be like Moses and become involved in needless worry about our gifts, and forget God's purpose and enabling power. When God calls, our gifts are not the controlling factor; in fact, they are not 1 a great factor at all. The question then becomes, Is God able? Let us trust and obey Him. __ Any excuse 70a cam five far not upptnr your payroll ararinfi will please Hitler, Hirohito and poppet MunoolinJ. ? ? 1 , , , , . ? ? .. ? j ?- ? i .mi CS??rel?
