When we think of Moses, many of us have a mental picture of Moses with the 10 commandments, or the movie with his arms out parting the red sea.

The thing is Moses wasn’t always this confident leader. In fact, Moses was a murderer.  He was slow of speech, and really argued with God when God chose him to lead his people out of Egypt.  God didn’t call him because he had awesome presentation skills, was dynamic and was loved by his people. It was quite the opposite. However, we need to keep in mind

GOD DOESN’T CALL THE EQUIPPED – HE EQUIPS THE CALLED

Take some time and look at your life and where you are right now, and look at how you got to where you are. When I did this exercise, I was amazed at all the things that happened to me, and to people in my life. I didn’t always give credit to God when they happened, but looking back I can see how my entire life God has been putting me into positions, bringing people into my life, etc that lead me to where I am today. God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called.

Scripture: Exodus 3:7 – chapter 4.
