When God called Moses for a mission, Moses told God all about
his weaknesses such as slow in speech and many more that it was not possible to
accept. As per his term, Moses was unfit to lead the Israelite. So, God said, “What
is that in your hand?” Moses replied, “A rod”.
God’s reply was that if there was nothing with Moses, there
at least was ‘a rod’ with him. So, God blessed the ‘Rod’ and using that Rod as a
tool of God’s power, Moses led the Israel nation out of Egypt.
Friends, “what is in your hand?” What quality is in you that God may employ?
There must be one. Never think you have no good quality. Every thing is
possible for God. You are created by God. God did not create you to be useless.
You may not still find out the good quality God has hidden in you. God want you
to discover that quality. You will not be able to do that yourself. You need
help.Call on the Son of God, Jesus Christ now. Request Jesus in prayer to help
you.
Moses did not tell all his feelings to God. In his deep in
heart there was a feeling “I am brought up in the house of Egyptian, am
uncircumcised. The people of Israel will surely reject me and say ‘ you,
uncircumcised, how can Yahweh send you to us’”. That was the most blocking, an
impediment for Moses to go to the circumcised Israel people. But Moses did not
tell about that. But in his deep in mind, heart and soul Moses knew his most unfit
nature.
God knows everything. God knows our feelings. God want our
heart, mind and soul. Outer expression is some thing but inner heart is what
matter most. God wants us changed in heart. God want you to acknowledge and
accept your weakness (that you are a sinner, unworthy to go to God, unworthy
for the Lord).
The heaviest feelings Moses had in mind was his ‘uncircumcised’
nature. God did not cared what man care. God accepted Moses as he was and
blessed him and made a great leader. Moses name will always be remembered.
What is in your deep heart, mind and soul that block you
come to Lord Jesus?
Is it the secret hatred you have for one of your neighbor?
Is it that you had committed some mistake with that girl, that boy, that
relative, that one person? Is it some bad habit you have and can not avoid your
own strength? Is it that you are in a position to work or earn money some other
way to run your family and have no alternative way to stop? Is it that you have
to consume liquor (wine) or ‘drug’ to maintain your health?
What worry you? What disturb you? What is blocking you to
come before the God of Love, the Saviour of all Jesus Christ?
You see those person living with Jesus Christ are a happy, peaceful
mind people. Nothing disturb their mind.
May be you are living with a heavy heart! Though outwardly
look happy! You may seem healthy but in deep in heart, anxiety! Anxiety for wealth,
for wealth, for security!
Moses confessed all his weaknesses and also confessed in his
countenance (deep in heart ) his unqualified nature as Israel. Being Israel he
must have circumcised but he lived and was brought out by Egyptian in Egyptian family,
so he was uncircumcised). God knew Moses deep heart. So, God forgave him of his
shortcoming as Moses confessed in his deep feeling.
God demand of our heart and feeling. Come to the Lord.
Confess your sinful nature, not necessarily before the people but silently in
prayer to Jesus Christ. God will forgive you and release you from your burden.
You will feel happy and be glad. Your old nature will release you. You will get
a New Life in Jesus. Your bad habit, your bad way of earning will be replaced by
a fairway of earning, all people will be glad to be with you. You will become a
happy person.
God is willing to transform you and bless you so that others
may also come to the lord. He want to use you as he had used Moses.
You may be ordinary person. But God want to bless the one quality in you and employ that quality as that of Moses Rod.
Come to Jesus
with prayer. Confess your sinful nature and ask Him to forgive you and bless
you with New life in Him.
May God bless you.
