Today is Wednesday, January 2, 2019, and here is your Daily Devo. Like Moses, we might feel as though we have disqualified ourselves from being used by God. Who are we to serve Him? Who is going to pay any attention to us?
We are so quick to look at to our shortcomings and incompetence, real or perceived, instead of looking to God's calling on our lives. When we focus on our past and what others might think of us, we often fail to walk in obedience to the Lord. But our root problem is not one of self-worth, it is one of power. It's not an issue of who we are and what we can or cannot do.
It's an issue of who God is and what He can and will do. This is often said, it's not about our ability, but our availability. Moses needed to avoid undervaluing himself as much as overvaluing himself. He needed to recognize who he was in God's image and the fact that the mission wouldn't be contingent upon his giftedness and skills, but upon God's.
That's the reason for three signs. The sign of the staff turning into a snake was followed by Moses's hand turning diseased and water turning into blood. These signs were for Moses to understand and Pharaoh to see that it was not about what Moses was able to do, but what God was able to do through Moses. Think about this.
