Exodus 3:10 ” So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

God chose Moses to free His people from the slavery of Pharaoh, but instead of obeying, Moses made excuses. And he wasn’t the only one across the Old Testament that battled and struggled with the call of God on their life. There was Gideon (Judges 6:15), Saul (I Samuel 9:21), David (II Samuel 7:18), Solomon (II Chronicles 2:6), Isaiah (Isaiah 6:5). Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:6), Ezekiel (Ezekiel 3:14), and Jonah (Jonah 1:1-3). What they all discovered was that for every excuse they came up with, God would patiently but firmly reassure them that under His strength the Way was already prepared. And if they refused like Jonah did, God was relentless to convict, exhort, and dog them until they finally obeyed. Just know, that with the calling comes the inner struggle and battle with God…us saying we can’t, and God saying, “Yes you can!”
