Jan 27 - Moses Argues With God...and wins one:)

How cool is it that Moses continually shows doubt yet God uses him anyway. God tells him to tell the people God sent him and He would be with Moses to help him. His response "What if they wont believe me or listen to me." The Lord tells Moses I will use you to show many signs like turning the Nile River turn blood. Moses pleads with God again "O Lord, I'm not very good with words. I never have been....my words get tangled." So God points out that He is the one that decides whether people speak or not and that He would instruct Moses. Moses answer "Lord please! Send anyone else."

Then the Lord became angry with Moses. "All right," he said. "What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he speaks well. And look! He is on the way to meet you now." He goes onto say "He will be your mouth piece, and you will stand in the place of God for him, telling him what to say." So they meet up and head off to Egypt. They get to Egypt and Moses does as God told him and things backfire. Pharaoh orders all the slaves to make bricks without giving them straw so now every one is against Moses. I wonder what Moses was feeling at this point constantly doubting that he is the one to do this then he jumps in, well is shoved in, and things are going all array. All we can do in these situations is know Gods promise that He is with us and continually ask for His help.

In Matthew today Jesus tells the disciples "Unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven." Humility......love to see it when it does show up:)
