"Please, Lord, Send Anyone Else

 

“Please, Lord, Send Anyone Else!”

 

…Moses replied to the LORD, “Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent---either in the past or recently or since You have been speaking to Your Servant---because I am slow and hesitant in speech.”   “Please, Lord, send anyone else.”    Exodus 4:10 & 13

 

Well, I can TRUTHFULLY say that Moses was/is NOT the only one who has NOT wanted to do something that God has asked them to do. Moses, evidently had a speech problem, it was possible that he might have gotten tongue-tied, and his words would become tangled or jumbled up, maybe even stuttered some.  But the point is; Moses didn’t have a STRONG enough FAITH, that God would be with him and have COMPLETE CONTROL over his MOUTH.  Whenever, God has something for the TRUE BELIEVER to do, He does not ask for your ABILITY, but He does DESIRE your AVAILABILITY.  Just make yourself AVAILABLE and He will EQUIP you to do whatever it is He wants you to do.  We just NEED to be SUBMISSIVE and TRUST HIM.

 

The Prophet Jeremiah, also had a similar problem, he said: “O Sovereign LORD, I can’t speak for YOU!  I’m too young!”  The LORD replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,” for you must go wherever I send you and SAY whatever I tell you.  And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you.  I, the LORD, have spoken!”  (Jeremiah 1:6-8).   Again, this is a prime example of a LACK of FAITH and TRUST in the POWER and ABILITY of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. 

 

Yet, God still used MOSES and JEREMIAH in POWERFUL ways.  With MOSES, God provided Aaron to SPEAK for MOSES.  And He promised Jeremiah that HE would be with him and would take care of him.  And God’s ULTIMATE WILL was done!  If you are a TRUE BELIEVER, are you like MOSES and JEREMIAH, saying to God: “Lord, please! Send ANYONE else.” Whenever He calls on you to do something that is NOT what you want to do?  As TRUE BELIEVERS, we NEED to be AVAILABLE to do WHATEVER God asks of US, and TRUST Him to be with US ALL the WAY.  It may not be EASY, but it will make your FAITH STRONGER and GOD HAPPIER! 

 

If you are NOT a TRUE BELIEVER, then you are being DISOBEDIENT to the MOST IMPORTANT thing you will ever do.  And that is to COME to Him, for the SALVATION of your SOUL, which, without JESUS CHRIST, as your SAVIOR and LORD, is DOOMED for an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you’re there.  In order to be OBEDIENT to God and to ESCAPE HELL, you MUST first ADMIT that you are a SINNER, in NEED of a SAVIOR, and then BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that HE is ALIVE in HEAVEN. And CONFESS Your SINS to Him, and with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART ask Him for His FORGIVENESSS. You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, by ACCEPTING His SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOR and LORD.  And when He calls you to do something for Him, do as the Prophet Isaiah did, say: “Here am I, LORD, send ME.” TRUST and OBEY!!  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
