But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" - Moses (the Prophet)
Have you ever felt charged up and motivated to get a venture going only to wake up the next morning and feel completely incapable? If you are like me you would have probably asked yourself if you sensed correctly the vision that you professed. You are not alone in this. Moses (that great prophet the split the Red Sea) asked, “Who am I, …?” Jeremiah said, “I am a child!” Gideon wondered if the Lord was with his nation, and Jacob confessed: “I am A Crook!”
It
is very human to feel insufficiently equipped to bring to reality the dreams
and visions in our hearts. So the fact that you are in that shoe isn’t new at
all.
We
feel this way when we look inward – our insufficient education, limited money,
debatable beauty, obvious physical inabilities, and a host of other hindrances.
We never seem to get to the point where we are ready to take the bull by its
horns and conquer it.
We
will remain in limbo unless we look elsewhere for the strength to accomplish. We
must look to God. It is in God that we find our true estimation. Forget self-esteem,
try God-esteem! God does not deny our incapability; he knows them all too well
and has appropriate responses to them. He said to Moses, “I will be with you,”
to Jeremiah he said, “Do not say “I am only a child,”” to Gideon, “Go in the
strength you have,” and to Jacob, “Your name will no longer be A Crook but A Prince…”
