Exodus 4 and the story of Moses being called by God to be used in front of the most powerful person on earth during that time. Fear was all over the place with the opportunity/assignment. We can’t pretend that we would be anything different than Moses was during this experience. Regardless of the fact that he was conversing with the God of the universe and that alone has psychological implications of terror, but what he was calling him to may have felt even more terrifying. It’s one thing to fall into the hands of an angry God you cannot see, it’s quite another to fall into the terror filled hands of a person whom you have seen kill and destroy and wreck havic on people you’ve known. Moses here is caught in the tensions of conflict. Should he willingly trust in God whom he’s just recently become re-acquainted with? Or should he crater in fear of the ruler who he used to call brother? It seemed so much easier to just get lost in the wilderness than to have to deal with the tensions of God’s story. When God’s story becomes your problem, you have great opportunity in front of you. God was literally making this problem of the people’s deliverance to be Moses' problem. We immediately see the tensions of Moses “What if” problem. While we focused on this same question last week from a positive perspective, this week we will be confronting that from a negative line. Moses was constantly asking the What If questions from a stand point of negative outcome. What if they don’t believe. What if they don’t understand ;What if I can’t explain it clearly What if im embarrassed What if I just can’t come through with it We have to learn to depend on the Lord for guidance and goodness rather than what we have. We are champions of this tension today. I hear it 1000’s times per month, but I don’t hear it in terms of being presented with an opportunity but just rejecting ideas. I don’t want to teach in kids Point, because i I don’t want to help youth with anything because i You see we’ve crossed from being presented with opportunity to engage to just being totally indifferent to it and thinking that it’s God’s problem to resolve. When God’s story becomes your problem, you have great opportunity in front of you! The reason why some of you don’t love what you’re doing with the work of the Lord is because you’ve yet to fully immerse yourself in it. You're still there holding on to your excuses thinking that God will eventually bypass you and go bother someone else.
