Key Verse: 4:2
First, being helpless is a good spot to be in (1-9). God can work when we realize we are totally helpless to do his will with our human efforts. Once Moses had been confident in his ability to lead his people out of bondage. Now, after 40 years in the wilderness, he had lost all his self-confidence. Those 40 years were not a waste, but a necessary season of Moses' life. He learned to depend on God in his helplessness. God is faithful to work in any person's heart and transform them until they can bring God glory.
Second, take your staff, utter a prayer and go! (10-17) Moses had no more presumptions about himself. Now was the time to take it to the next level in the Lord. God promised to be with him to help him (11-12). He was going on ahead, to open peoples' ears to accept the message Moses was called to preach. We have the Creator God on our side. Just take "your staff in your hand", whisper a pray, trust the Lord and go.
Prayer: Lord, I am unable, but you are more than able. I am helpless and full of excuses, but you are my Creator who gives me words to speak and the strength to go. I place my hope and trust in you.
One Word: God has already equipped you
