Weak People & Frail Times...

We instinctively assume that it’s the strong that bolsters the weak. Similarly we assume that it’s the days of overflow that buoy's the days of challenge. However, in God’s economy that doesn’t seem to be precisely true.
“Moses answered God, Look – the Israelites won’t even listen to me. How do you expect Pharaoh to? And besides, I stutter”. ~Ex. 6:12
Moses leadership had just taken a credibility hit. He told the Hebrews God had sent him to rescue them. But instead they were beaten for laziness. Pharaoh was angry at them and they were angry at Moses. Moses too was frustrated that his meeting with Pharaoh didn’t go better. Moses went to his tent in total despair. But God spoke again to Moses and reassured him that all was on track and that he was indeed the man to lead them out. So Moses stepped out of his tent to encourage the Hebrew leaders. But they wouldn’t even listen to him. They were too despondent from their latest beating to even hear Moses words. They walked away on Him. If Moses was low before, he was doubly depressed now. It was then Moses uttered the words above. All he could see was weakness. The Hebrew people…weak. Moses performance to date…weak. His stuttering problem made him appear…weak. In his wildest dreams he couldn’t see why this proposal should continue. But it did continue. In fact, it succeeded & succeeded huge. Within 30 days they would be a free people. God just loves to create stories starring WEAK PEOPLE AND FRAIL TIMES. ~verlon
