[1318.74 --> 1319.92] No, God needed to be patient |
[1319.92 --> 1320.78] and he needed to wait |
[1320.78 --> 1321.58] for Moses to become |
[1321.58 --> 1322.16] meek and humble |
[1322.16 --> 1323.00] because then |
[1323.00 --> 1324.70] it was God's power |
[1324.70 --> 1326.02] that saved his people. |
[1327.02 --> 1328.32] It wasn't Moses' position, |
[1328.56 --> 1329.90] it wasn't Moses' education, |
[1330.36 --> 1331.76] it wasn't Moses' means. |
[1334.02 --> 1334.88] It's interesting though, |
[1334.92 --> 1336.44] Moses almost became too meek, |
[1336.58 --> 1337.50] he almost became too humble |
[1337.50 --> 1339.16] because when God asks Moses |
[1339.16 --> 1339.80] at the burning bush |
[1339.80 --> 1340.62] to go bring his people |
[1340.62 --> 1341.20] out of Egypt, |
[1341.60 --> 1343.00] Moses replies in verse 11 |
[1343.00 --> 1344.66] with who am I? |
[1344.74 --> 1345.76] Who am I to do this? |
[1345.76 --> 1348.62] In fact, |
[1348.70 --> 1349.40] later in this chapter |
[1349.40 --> 1350.16] we didn't get to that, |
[1350.24 --> 1351.16] Moses thinks of a whole bunch |
[1351.16 --> 1352.00] of reasons why he should |
[1352.00 --> 1352.68] not be doing this. |
[1352.88 --> 1353.40] What if the people |
[1353.40 --> 1354.06] don't believe me, |
[1354.10 --> 1354.36] he says. |
[1354.40 --> 1355.34] I'm not really eloquent, |
[1355.46 --> 1356.58] I can't speak in front of people, |
[1356.62 --> 1357.54] this isn't a job for me |
[1357.54 --> 1358.90] and after all his excuses, |
[1359.44 --> 1360.38] he simply looks at God |
[1360.38 --> 1360.64] and he says, |
[1360.74 --> 1360.98] God, |
[1361.22 --> 1364.08] please just send someone else. |
[1368.52 --> 1369.42] His response maybe |
[1369.42 --> 1370.48] shouldn't be that surprising |
[1370.48 --> 1371.32] to us though, right? |
[1373.60 --> 1374.82] We ask the same questions, |
[1374.90 --> 1375.20] don't we? |
[1376.76 --> 1377.20] God, |
[1377.24 --> 1378.34] I can't pray for that person, |
[1378.42 --> 1379.04] not here, |
[1379.16 --> 1379.62] not now, |
[1379.70 --> 1380.38] not publicly. |
[1381.76 --> 1382.20] God, |
[1382.24 --> 1384.14] I'm not spiritually mature enough |
[1384.14 --> 1385.12] to lead that ministry. |
[1387.32 --> 1387.76] God, |
[1387.80 --> 1388.40] I'm not eloquent. |
[1388.62 --> 1390.56] I can't speak your gospel |
[1390.56 --> 1391.70] to people I don't know. |
[1393.26 --> 1393.70] God, |
[1393.74 --> 1395.12] I don't want to be an elder, |
[1395.34 --> 1395.96] just God, |
[1396.34 --> 1398.40] please send someone else. |
[1401.74 --> 1403.30] The ironic problem is |
[1403.30 --> 1405.42] when we feel this way, |
[1405.76 --> 1408.22] it is exactly the kind of person |
[1408.22 --> 1409.58] that God wants to use |
[1409.58 --> 1411.20] to fulfill his kingdom purposes. |
[1413.38 --> 1414.68] When we accept the fact |
[1414.68 --> 1415.98] that maybe we don't have |
[1415.98 --> 1416.62] what it takes |
[1416.62 --> 1418.10] to do all of the things |
[1418.10 --> 1419.48] God be me calling us to do, |
[1420.28 --> 1421.34] then it's God |
[1421.34 --> 1422.62] who gets the glory |
[1422.62 --> 1424.62] for accomplishing his purposes |
[1424.62 --> 1425.44] through us. |
[1425.44 --> 1426.44] God's sake. |
[1426.44 --> 1428.18] So even though Moses |
[1428.18 --> 1429.42] responded with excuses |
[1429.42 --> 1430.38] and fear |
[1430.38 --> 1431.68] and a whole lot of hesitation, |
[1432.42 --> 1433.26] God picked him up, |
[1433.96 --> 1434.98] he sent him out, |
[1435.24 --> 1436.52] and he used him |
[1436.52 --> 1437.66] in all his limitations, |
[1437.66 --> 1438.62] and Moses became |
[1438.62 --> 1441.16] one of the greatest fathers |
[1441.16 --> 1441.94] of our faith |
[1441.94 --> 1443.22] the world has ever known. |
[1443.22 --> 1447.50] Now the internet, |
[1448.18 --> 1449.66] it's a very interesting place. |
[1451.20 --> 1452.42] It's got tons of stuff, |
[1452.54 --> 1453.34] wormholes that you can |
[1453.34 --> 1454.00] get sucked into, |
[1454.18 --> 1455.14] videos that are completely |
[1455.14 --> 1456.72] used to watch, |
[1457.06 --> 1457.78] just a big waste |
[1457.78 --> 1458.40] of time generally, |
[1458.48 --> 1459.90] but every once in a while |
[1459.90 --> 1461.08] it gives you this |
[1461.08 --> 1462.42] beautiful gem |
[1462.42 --> 1463.58] that you can use |
[1463.58 --> 1464.58] in a certain situation. |
[1465.72 --> 1466.32] And as I was |
