ON THIN ICE

“Now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I to go to Pharaoh and bring the people of Israel out of Egypt?” Exodus 3:10-11. I understand Moses’ reluctance, the call of God on my life has always exceeded my known resources, proven capabilities, and personal character. I have come to understand this is the way it must be; otherwise, I would foolishly lean too heavily upon myself. It is the daily walk on thin ice that keeps me alert and dependent upon divine intervention. My weaknesses invite God’s mercy, strength, and goodness. So I begin another day shrouded in frailty but anticipating a new measure of grace and victory while contemplating God’s promise to Moses, “I will be with you.” Blessed Father, You are not put off by my shortcomings. When I am weak, You are strong. Blessed Master, use me this day for Your glory.
