Song # 2152 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. In the Book of Exodus we read in chapter 4 that the Lord had chosen Moses to lead His people. But Moses was not comfortable speaking to the people.
Moses said to the Lord “Oh Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant, I am slow of speech and tongue” (Exodus 4:10). The Lord said to him “Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord?” (Exodus 4:11).”Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say” (Exodus 4:12). But Moses said “Oh Lord, please send someone else to do it” (Exodus 4:13). Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses and He said “What about your brother, Aaron, the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and his heart will be glad when he sees you” (Exodus 4:14). “You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do” (Exodus 4:15). “Aaron will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him” (Exodus 4:16). “But take this staff in your hand so that you can perform miraculous signs with it” (Exodus 4:17).
Thought for today: when God forgives, He restores the soul.
Thought for the future: we can’t see God’s hand, but we can trust His heart. Where will you spend your eternity?
