Moses was a very timid, quiet person at the time God called him.  But, Moses will need to learn to trust the Lord, as he will soon stand in Pharaoh’s presence, making petition on behalf of his people, Israel.  That was truly a fearful setting; Moses, with Aaron, standing before the leader of the great nation of Egypt.  He had no real life skills or strengths that would equip him for God’s calling, with the exception of keeping or tending sheep for his father in law, Jethro. God always does His greatest work when things appear to be impossible.  There is nothing impossible or too great for God! Always keep in mind that the mountains of life are really opportunities for us and should never be seen as obstacles. As Moses trusted the Lord, he became stronger and more capable.  He would indeed become the deliverer for God’s people.  God’s plan would be fulfilled as Moses yielded to the Lord!  Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”  Moses walked by faith and fear was replaced with God’s peace.  The following article speaks of overcoming fear.

     “Most of the skyscrapers in New York City were built by Indians! It's true! The Mohawk Indians are native to New York State. They are famed for their catlike ability to scamper across girders. They are totally indifferent to heights. It seems to be a genetic trait. A writer spoke of it in 1714.  In 1886 the Mohawk Indians built the bridge that spans the Saint Lawrence river. They were the riveters on the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center. Some people are uncomfortable in high places, but the Mohawk Indians seem right at home. Spiritual heights are uncomfortable for some. They want to live in the lowlands of life, but Christ keeps calling us to higher ground.” — Robert C. Shannon
