What's God Asking From You?...

We have great capacity to generate doubts. Doubt occurs when we see that our resources are less than the need. But anything God would ever ask us to do is reliant on resources beyond what we can see, so we doubt. I don’t think God is too frustrated with us, but He does need us to get it worked out in our heads so we will trust Him to step in when our resources run out. Here’s how the doubt to trust journey played out for Mo...
“Moses objected, they won’t trust me. They won’t listen to a word I say. So God said, what’s that in your hand? A staff, Moses said. Throw it on the ground. He threw it. It became a snake.” ~Exodus 4:1-3
Moses was only a shell of his former polished self. When he ran from Pharaoh all those years ago, he left behind the strong and educated and confident man and adopted the image of a drop-out on the run. Going from a ‘ruler in waiting’ to a ‘shepherd’ really affected him. He actually developed a stutter. So you can see why he was full of objections all these years later when being called back into nation-leading. He had a litany of them. I only listed a couple above. The surrounding verses have him going on and on with one doubt after another. It was then God turned Mo’s rod into a snake. In that moment he got quite a lesson, that his resources weren’t what was going to make all this happen. God was bringing the big game. God just needed a few things from Mo, like his walking stick for starters. Wow! So WHAT’S GOD ASKING FROM YOU? ~verlon
