SEPTEMBER. GO!!!
Beginning from this September, i'm gonna study the life of Moses. I'm so excited (yay!!!). Not only will i study the life of this great leader that God transformed throughout years but i will also be part of the leadership team, meaning i will be able to put into practice the lessons that God will be teaching me. Being a leader doesn't promise a quiet year (not at all!!!). Challenges will come, so as sacrifices, including putting aside my little caprices... but I pray that through this year, i will be able to give my best to God & to be devoted to His calling ... & i firmly believe that God is going to mold me, to change me & to transform me according to what pleases Him. By the end of the study, i wish that i would have grown and above all, that i would have given God the glory that is due to Him alone. I pray that through me/my good deeds, people will be led to glorify My Father who is in heaven. Bref :)
While zapping thru blogs, here and there, i have found this very helpful passage :
Moses had no confidence in himself and as a result he begged with God to, “…please send someone else.”This made God angry. Would not God teach Moses all that he is to know and say? Frequently, I find myself in Moses’ position. I have received a message to go out and liberate God’s people, whatever that may mean for my time and place, but none-the-less it is a calling. We all have a calling whether we believe it to be explicitly received or not. As bearers of God’s image we have been endowed with a responsibility to act and behave as God on earth to bring forth God’s kingdom. However, we fall short of this responsibility and are often left, craning our necks back speaking up into the skies begging, pleading with God to, “Please, just send someone else. I don’t know what I am doing.”
As God showed Moses and the Israelites, there is mercy for us and grace abundant. God goes before us in our ministries and is found there before we even begin to understand that is where we have been called. As Moses’ story illustrates, doubt and questioning is a natural response to a calling or vocation. However, when we begin to make excuses for ourselves and claim that we are not suitable as we are, we undermine the nature of God. We think less of our own identity and thus claim that God is less, not powerful enough, not good enough for the tasks ahead. - wholemagazine
