Have you ever thought, "Who am I to take on this task?" That's exactly what Moses felt when God called him to confront Pharaoh. Join me as we explore Exodus 3:11 and relate to Moses' hesitation through personal experiences, like that time I disastrously tried my hand at plumbing. In moments of solitude and self-reflection, just as Moses faced his wilderness doubts, we too can encounter a transformative call that pushes us beyond our perceived limits. Together, let's recognize the power of having a higher presence with us, guiding us through moments of doubt and leading us into our true purpose.

As we gather strength from this story, let's pray for the courage to move past our self-doubt and trust in the divine plans set for us. We'll explore how God's unwavering presence can empower us to embrace life's challenges with newfound faith. Through prayer and reflection, we can shake off self-pity and open ourselves to the roles we are destined to fulfill. Don't forget to revisit previous episodes for more spiritual encouragement and remember, this journey is one we're on together. Until next time, I'm Rick, thankful for the opportunity to walk this path with you.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.394
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.653
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:21.070 --> 00:00:25.185
Today is day 39.

00:00:25.185 --> 00:00:28.202
Who me From?

00:00:28.202 --> 00:00:30.248
Exodus, chapter 3, verse 11.

00:00:32.381 --> 00:00:36.569
Moses said to God who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?

00:00:36.569 --> 00:00:40.969
Have you ever tried to fix something, only to make it worse?

00:00:40.969 --> 00:00:46.308
I've had my share of those moments, especially when dabbling in plumbing.

00:00:46.308 --> 00:00:49.865
Moses knew exactly what that felt like.

00:00:49.865 --> 00:00:53.453
That's why he found himself in the wilderness tending sheep.

00:00:53.453 --> 00:00:59.012
Forty years earlier, his rash attempt at justice forced him to flee to the desert.

00:00:59.012 --> 00:01:10.862
In the wilderness, moses had plenty of time to reflect on his failures, but it was there, in the solitude of the desert, that Moses encountered the God, who had other plans for him.

00:01:10.862 --> 00:01:17.751
God intended to turn Moses from a shepherd of sheep into the shepherd of Israel, his people.

00:01:17.751 --> 00:01:22.950
Moses, however, wasn't very enthusiastic about his new role.

00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:26.147
He had come to understand his own limitations.

00:01:26.147 --> 00:01:29.465
In his eyes, he wasn't fit for the job.

00:01:30.706 --> 00:01:31.828
Many of us can relate.

00:01:31.828 --> 00:01:39.894
Life has taught us about our limitations and perhaps maybe we've lost some of the idealism that we once had.

00:01:39.894 --> 00:01:46.552
After being knocked down by life's challenges, we get a little pragmatic, or even jaded.

00:01:46.552 --> 00:01:50.990
We let go of the grand dreams and leave the tough jobs to somebody else.

00:01:50.990 --> 00:01:52.644
Why risk failure?

00:01:52.644 --> 00:01:53.948
Why?

00:01:53.948 --> 00:01:56.445
Because we're not alone.

00:01:56.445 --> 00:02:02.352
Just as God said to Moses, I will be with you, he's with us too.

00:02:02.352 --> 00:02:10.980
Be with you, he's with us too.

00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:12.783
In fact, the name I am, which God gave to Moses, was later claimed by Jesus himself.

00:02:12.783 --> 00:02:16.330
And, as Jesus promised, he's with us always.

00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:26.713
So, even when we stumble or feel inadequate, god's presence is beside us, ready to catch us and to empower us to carry out his plan.

00:02:26.713 --> 00:02:30.901
Pray with me, lord.

00:02:30.901 --> 00:02:35.192
God, you found us hiding away from you again, wallowing in self-pity.

00:02:35.192 --> 00:02:43.873
Lord, shake us out of our stupor and fold us into your plans and empower us to go where you send us.

00:02:43.873 --> 00:02:45.419
Amen.

00:02:45.419 --> 00:02:54.084
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
