OBJECTION OVERRULED: I WILL BE WITH YOUR MOUTH
Moses spent 40 years in Egyptian palaces and the next 40 years in obscurity. In a series of events such as the burning bush, God called the prophet to proclaim to Pharoah deliverance for the children of Israel. (Ex. 3 & 4)
You can imagine - a shepherd, despised, with a history, feeling totally unworthy and inadequate to accomplish such a thing. Inadequate means lacking the quality or quantity required; insufficient for a purpose. A person unable to deal with a situation.
Echoing through Moses' mind the words rang out, "Who am I? I'm not qualified. I can't speak!" But God says, Objection Overruled: its not about you, its about Me and I will be with your mouth!
Can you relate? Good, because "God chooses the foolish to shame the wise; the weak to confound the strong...what is low and despised in the world...that no flesh may boast in the presence of the Lord." (I Cor 1:27-29)
The kingdom work God calls us to is not natural. Its supernatural and requires a great dependence on God; a humility and the fear of the Lord. In ourselves the task is too big for us. But, He promises to be with US and with our MOUTH!
The gravity of the challenge is in the capable hands of the One who made gravity. He will give you vision and/or bubble up words of life and truth in your belly. Rejoice! You're not alone! You shall speak!
Step forward as He leads. One man or woman of God is a majority!
