Adjusting Self-Doubt!
So the Lord said to Moses, “Who has made man’s mouth?
Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind?
Have not I, the Lord? Now therefore, go, and I will be with
your mouth and teach you what you shall say.”
Exodus 4: 11-12
Sometimes self-doubt is a reasonable response.
As we enter in new challenges in life, we wonder
if we have what it takes to overcome them.
Setting our mind to playing in the NBA is likely not
possible for most of us. Sometimes our human
desires and goals need to be adjusted.
But what about those goals to which God calls us?
Would God call us to do something for which He has not
equipped us to succeed? Moses wondered that when God
called him to go to Egypt and lead Hebrews from bondage.
Moses raised four different objections, and God gave him
an answer for each one. The final answer was the best: “I
can make the mute speak, so I will equip you to speak to
Pharaoh.” Moses went and succeeded as God enabled
him.
Don’t let self-doubt tempt you to doubt God.
Whatever God’s call for you, His enabling
will be there.
"Faith enables us to so rejoice in the Lord
that our infirmities become platforms for
the display of His grace."
C. H. Spurgeon
