Exodus 4:10-17
WHO GIVES SPEECH TO MORTALS?
The LORD said to him, “Who gave man his mouth… Is it not I, the LORD.” Exodus 4:11, NIV
Many of the great people in the Bible and perhaps in contemporary times that have been mightily used of God often display initial reluctance to God’s call. They gave excuses as to why they could not do what the Lord was asking them to do. Moses (Exodus 4:10); Gideon (Judges 6:15); and Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:6-7) all gave excuses. This suggests that all our excuses for not wanting to do the will of God, as genuine as they may seem are not tenable before Him. God will always have the final say in our lives.
So if the Lord has, in His sovereignty, decided to use you, refrain from giving excuses. It is a great privilege that He chose you to serve Him. Never trivialize that opportunity. Accepting it would bring about your promotion while rejecting it may lead to your downfall. Is the Lord calling you to do something for Him? Stop giving excuses! Begin to do that which the Lord is leading you to do and you will forever be happy for doing God’s will.
