About Me

I am a retired VA employee who lives in Texas. I consider the characters of the Bible "family" as much as any I know or have known on earth. To be one of the Lord's beloved is the greatest thing I know. What good company!

Bibledoorajar Speaks of Resistance and God's Loving Kindness

Moses had received two signs to give him assurance that God would be the One who intended to use him to free His (his) people. But still Moses demurred at the suggestion that he could get the job done. This human failing is something that can push God's button and it did in this instance. God got angry with Moses' and his multiplying resistance. But here is the good thing; He also heard in Moses a cry for help. He listened as Moses commented on his poor speaking ability. God had found him adequate, but not Moses. So, O.K. Moses wanted eloquence. Take Aaron, your brother, with you. He can speak with eloquence, but he will not be empowered. The words for his eloquent speech will all have to come from you. You, Moses, will remain my mediator with Pharoah.

As members of the family of God, we all demure at times. We need someone else to shore us up to accomplish the task at hand. God may dislike the human failing of demurring , but His loving kindness  and goodness overcome it. He will bring a brother of sister along side, to help get the job done. I often teach a Women's Bible class with another. Our giftings are polar opposite, but she is much warmer and more outgoing than me. Together, the teaching that the Mediator loves to see happen in the church goes better. Human weaknesses? God has a solution. His Loving Kindness and Goodness can help any of us serve Him and how uplifting it is to see Him empower as only He can.

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days, all the days, of my life."
                                               Psalm 23

Look behind you, see Goodness, see Mercy. Help is on the way!
