“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.”
William Shakepeare
The time had arrived. It was God's intent to free his enslaved people---captives to be set free. And before him stands a man (Moses) giving all kinds of excuses as to why he is not the one to get the job done. Why God could have struck him and all his excuses dead in a minute! But instead God would not be limited by all the human reasons Moses gave to Him about his abilities. He listened patiently to all the difficulties Moses saw. Moses, once the young, lofty and quick to anger Egyptian prince, now wondered what ability he would have in the courts of Egypt. But God was quick to reassure him. HE would be with him. He not only would be with him, but He shared some of the mighty acts that He would be doing with Moses. And He told him that this would be a token unto Moses---that after the mighty acts that led to freedom of God's people were completed---he, Moses, would worship God there in that very place where they were talking.
God's love for the captive, for Moses, would cover the multitude of sins and weaknesses that God had seen everyday in His people. His power would be with them. When they could not, He would. HE WOULD! What wonderful words. Yes, Shakespeare, there is great trouble within ourselves, but those of us who serve a Mighty Risen Savior have a powerful presence with us all the way. But we must see that great ability. As Jesus walked the land, there were many who wanted to follow Him, but when given the opportunity found all kinds of reasons why they could not proceed with Him. It is, after all, trust and obey. Do you believe He will go all the way with you and that one day you will worship Him face to face? Is, therefore, what is within in you, less of a limiting factor?
" Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all."
You are my all in all."
