i am slow of speech

Good Morning,

Exodus 4:10-12 (New International Version)
Moses said to the LORD, "O 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."
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 ? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."

I think most of us are familiar with what Moses says to the Lord here, aren't we? When we feel sort of led to speak up about God, about Jesus, about the Gospel message, too many of us say to God, "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." Or other words similar to that. We say this because we think we will not have the right words to say or if we find words, then we won't say them in the right way.

Well, God's answer to Moses those thousands of years ago are His answer to us today. "No go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."

It IS just that simple. If we will simply open our mouths to speak, God will help us with WHAT to speak. Then, if we begin to speak out for Him, God will also help us in the correct way to say what He gives us.

So, the next time you feel that you don't have the words to say or the way to say them, remember that Moses felt the same way. Then, put aside your fears and just let God work through you.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
