Reading Exodus 4:1-17
The children of Israel had been in the land of Egypt for 430 years. The Lord God Himself summarized their life in Egypt in Exodus 3: 7-10. The time had come for the Israelites to come out and be free. God then calls Moses to be involved in the work of liberating Israel from the land of Egypt.
Moses is like every one of us. We want to serve God in a very big and remarkable way but we do not, as we assume, have the right tools. “I wish I am better trained!”, “I wish I could speak like Billy Graham and have all the opportunities that he has!” “I wish this ... and I wish that” You know all the things you had wished you had. The problem with all these wishes is that it makes us neglect the one we have.
