Moses seems to be who people looked at as the "mesiah" of the Old Testament... but who would have known that he was afraid to speak... when the Lord of the heavens told Moses that he had a job for him, Moses got scared and tryed to pull away...thank goodness that the power of God gave Moses strenth to speak... if he hadn't then we would still be stuck...slaves in Egypt waiting for deliverance....
This hits me... The story of God's mercy is so powerful, and yet, Moses was afraid to SPEAK???? Come on... In our generation people spend years wishing for fame and fortune, but girls are afraid to speak up and out about rape, and sexual abuse... Sometimes, I wish that whenever we needed to say something that God would appear in the form of a burning bush, and say, "you need not worry... I will teach you what to say."
Why is it so hard for us to express our opinions in the form of words? We cut ourselves to say that simply, WE ARE HURTING...we wear black to say I AM MOURNING....we dye our hair to say I AM BORED WITH MY LIFE...we get plastic surgery to say I DON'T FEEL ADEQUATE ENOUGH....
How much easier would life be if we just speak up? Let the burning bush teach you what to say! Read his word, and express yourself with WORDS... actions do speak louder than words... however, that only seems to work when no one is willing to listen... "I am your God, I will never leave you nor forsake you." God listens...tell him... his yoke is easy, and his burden light.
