"The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."  But Moses said, "O Lord, please send someone else to do it."  Then the LORD's anger burned against Moses and he said, "What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and his heart will be glad when he sees you.  You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do.  He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.  But take this staff in your hand so you can perform miraculous signs with it." 

- Exodus 4:11-17

Reading through the story of Moses right now and I found this passage interesting.  I have read the story many time before but for some reason it hit me differently this time.  God asks Moses to do something and Moses asks God to send someone else.  Even though God gets angry with Moses, he gives him Aaron to help him.


God must get so frustrated with us.  Here it even says God was angry with Moses but he still helped him.  I Just think how true this can be for us.  God asks us to do something and we feel inadequate asking God to choose someone else but God knows were are the person for the job so he gives us someone to assist us.  

It never ceases to amaze me how God cares for us even when he is frustrated with us.  He has these amazing plans for us and we get scared but He still provides what we need.  He gives us support in those around us.

Thought for the Day:  What is God asking you to do that scares you?  Who is the support that God has put around you to help you?
