The calling and how to deal with it in moses

[looksgood]

God Calls.

Throw the gift in the hand down and it becomes a snake to fear. You flee from the calling that you have not picked up. You fear it for its ability to do you harm. But God speaks and says pick it up by the tail. The most easy part. Slowly to handle it. Walk to it. Touch the tail by taking a small step. Step out on faith that it will not turn around and bite you. Pick it up slow and it becomes a rod in your hand. Learn to use the rod.

Let your hand be cleansed to use it. Let your heart be made pure by the washing of the water of the word and through prayer. Stick your leparus hand into your new heart. Pull it out as a clean hand not of flesh and your old hearts desire, but of the new heart inside that God has made. You will be strong enough to hold the rod then. And God will be with you! He will turn the rod into power. He will guide your new hand to serve Him. Go slow to pick up the rod. God is with you. When God calls have faith. It is His rod…not yours.

And if the people do not hear you…pour the word of God out to them. It is the water from the river that flows from God. It is the very word of God. Speak it and if they will not take it as health, it will be conviction of blood stains on them.

Thank you. I needed to hear (or read, that is ) that. The calling is daunting but each step reduces the journey. I again return to the comfort of trusting in my Savior to lead me to all Truth.

Those words have deeply touched me, "afraid of the snake" because of doubt. Not my will...

I have been afraid of it for a long time. I know that if it is just me handleing the snake I will not survive. But God asks for so little. Not that we grab it by the fangs, but by the tail. Its a small task. I was called to serve Gods people, and any who MAY want some food from the word of God. It will take my mouth as it did Moses. And like him I have had the same excuses. I threw the rod down and ran from it. I feared because I doubt myself. But your right...it is NOT our will. It is Gods will. And God brings His will to pass. So if we doubt...we doubt God.

I need to learn the lesson that God will open my mouth. That is what I feared most. I feared going it alone and having to do it out of my own strength and knowledge. But it isn't me. It is God who calls, and will fullfill.

This has struck a cord, and I must do as God has directed and confirmed through more than two. I can understand the doubt that Moses felt about himself. I know God can not fail when He is in it.

Thank you, Looksgood, may God bless you.
