The children of Israel had been in slavery to the Egyptians for over 400 years. Finally,
a Hebrew baby was born by the name of Moses. Moses grew up in the palace of Pharaoh,
the king of Egypt. However, when he saw the suffering the Egyptians inflicted upon
his people, he fled from Egypt into the land of Midian. There, he married, had kids,
and became a shepherd. But, after forty years in Midian, God called Moses to return
to Egypt and deliver the Israelites out of their bondage. Moses did not feel adequate
or even capable of doing what God wanted him to do. Nevertheless, Moses obeyed and,
under God’s direction, became one of the greatest leaders Israel had ever known.
Perhaps you have been called by God. Maybe you are like Moses and don’t feel like
you’re the man or woman for the job. Maybe you feel like someone else would be better
suited for the task. Be encouraged to listen to God. Even if you don’t feel like
you can do it, respond to God’s voice in faith. Answer His call, and He will take
you to heights you never dreamed possible.
