Help From Above
There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.—Exodus 3:2 (NIV)
But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”—Exodus 3:11 NIV
In the above verse Moses’ response to God’s call is directly opposite to Isaiah’s, “Here I am! Send me” (Isaiah 6:8). Yet it’s understandable that when called to do something outside of our comfort zone, we doubt our own ability. God has given each of us unique skills and gifts to fulfill our purpose here on earth.
Dear God, because of Your power and grace I have the strength and confidence to complete the task You have called me to do. Here I am! Send me.
