37 “Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”
Exodus 4:12
God called Moses to a mighty task of leading God’s people to the promised land. He was very reticent to do this task and complained that he could not speak well. God tells Moses that He will be with him for God himself has made the eyes, the ear and the mouth. God assures Moses that he will receive the help when the need arises. We accept the grace given for our tasks when we obediently obey the Lord and do what He asks of us. It is the same every time. God requires great things of us and we must humbly accept His leading and obey. Moses’ faith was too much in himself and not in the power of God. He needed to see the majesty of the Lord his God and see that nothing is impossible with God. God’s help is immediate when we speak for Him and He will give us the words to say when the time is right.
“…for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Luke 12:12
We obey the Lord and speak for Him in our daily witness to others and the Lord will guide us as we have delved deep into His Word and learned His precepts. It is not chance, but the result of our study in the Word of God. Let us familiarize ourselves with the Word that we might speak truly and uprightly.
“…so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please…”
Isaiah 55:11
