Moses Needs Convincing

truly, i feel bad for the guy. God scares the pants off him, and then gives him instructions to go into the biggest and deadliest adventure of his life. but its interesting to read that the first thing God says to Moses is "i have seen the oppression and i have come to save them." then when he tells Moses to go, he's like "who am i to save them?" If Moses could remember that God said "I" would he have questioned it? God works through us many times, but doesn't have to. He could very well just free the Israelites and smite all the Egyptians. But he gave Moses the big task of leading the people. He was God's instrument in the situation. i'd be scared too. but God gently reminds Moses, more than once, that its not Moses' power, but His own. "I will be with you." "I am sending you." I AM has sent me to you." It is through God's power that we have the power.
