Part of my daily reading is from the Old Testament, and I'm reading in Exodus right now. I'm struck by a verse I read this morning from chapter 3. In verse 10, God told Moses to go to Egypt to bring the Israelites out of there. Here's Moses' response in verse 11: "But Moses said to God, 'Who am I, that I should go to Pharoah and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?' 12 And God said, 'I will be with you.'"
This is a good reminder for me whenever I begin to question God with "But what about...?" Or, "But, I don't know what to do!" God is with me. Jesus said that when He was going up to heaven in Matthew 28:20: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." He has given me His Holy Spirit to live in me (John 14 and 15). His presence is always with me. If God has called me to do something, it doesn't matter what my excuse is; He's with me and I'd better get to it!
Notice, too, that Moses had asked "Who am I?" God doesn't respond to that, because it doesn't matter if God is with me. I should let Him work and speak through me and not worry about who I am, or what I have or don't have. As I heard Louie Giglio say once, "I know I am not, but I know I AM!"
Live every day with His presence in you.
