March 16: A question

So in today’s Open Heaven’s bible devotional, the text was from Exodus 3v1-12, and in verse 11, there was a question:

“And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?” Exodus 3v11

And in this verse, one can see:
i. Inadequacy: Moses feeling inadequate
ii. Unworthy: Not worthy perhaps to be sent by God & also to stand before the “great” Pharaoh
iii. Perhaps fear: Afterall, he already had a history in Egypt and he was a wanted man
iv. Discomfort: He had to go out & move out of his comfort zone
v. Servant hood: Afterall, his profession for the last couple of years was to lead sheep, that of Jethro. How then could he lead people?
vi. Pull back: Remembering how his fellow Israelite spoke to him when he once tried to help
vii. Looking at his abilities: 3 “I”s in the verse. How can I do it? No es possible!!!
viii. Pride in some form: Previous verse records Moses hiding his face so that he would not look upon God, for he was afraid… and now 4 verses later, he replies God – Who am I
ix. Something normal: Remember Jeremiah, remember Gideon … often not easy to embark upon a task when God hands it over to you
x. Egypt: not even Canaan, or Midian, Egypt. Even the name can bring a chill to the heart of him who mentions it, for Moses knew Egypt and what it was capable of doing to people. Afterall, he once was a prince there.

But remember:
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13 v 5
