But Moses said, "O Lord, please send someone else to do it." Exodus 4:13
Moses had quite a day.
As he went to investigate a flaming bush that wouldn't burn up, God spoke to him. Moses proceeded to hear God's plan to free the Hebrew people from bondage in Egypt, then he performed two wonders as practice for what he should do in case the Israelite elders didn't believe him.
How cool it must have been! Moses held a staff in his hand that became a snake - then a staff again His hand turned leprous, then became clean again. These things should be enough to convince the elders that God was the One who would save them.
But Moses didn't believe it himself! He told God, "Please send someone else." He asked God to do what He wanted, but to do it in a different way. I'm surprised God didn't kill Moses on the spot. Moses was speaking to the God of the universe - the God who created everything - and he wavered.
O Lord, how many times have I wavered? How many times have I seen You perform great miracles to only doubt You can help me overcome the challenges in my life? When the day comes that You determine to free some of Your children from worldly bondage, and You turn to me, will I doubt? Will I ask You to please send someone else?
Father, forgive me for ever doubting Your power. There are still ways that I am like Moses. I am too afraid to share the truth of my story with the world, so I say, "Please don't ask me to do that." I could more easily go to the other side of the earth to share You through service than I could to stand before those I know and admit how broken I have been.
Help me trust You, Lord. That was Moses' problem; he didn't trust you. It is my problem.
Use me despite my stubborn ways.
