So many people today that could serve and make a difference in a church and workplace do nothing but offer excuses as to why they cannot do the will of God. Moses did the same thing.

In the above verse, and in the verses following, Moses offered several excuses and God answered each one showing that God was not concerned about his inability (or perceived inability) to do what God wanted. What Moses did not realize, which is the same thing that Christians today must realize, is that it does not matter who or what you are for God to use you.

The only thing you need to understand is that God makes no mistakes. It is true because those people that God directs to do some aspect of His work He also equips for the task. It is why excuses are irrelevant.

I have known some pastors and teachers who say that they ran from God’s calling for years. What a tragedy! They regret that decision and have lost many rewards because of it. But now, they thank God for His leading and have truly learned that His will is perfect, good, and acceptable (Romans 12:1,2).

Although Moses tried several excuses, none of them were significant because God has unlimited power and wisdom. God knew the best person for the task. Once Moses started to be willing, God helped him with some miraculous signs – turning his staff into a snake, making his hand leprous and then healing it, and pouring out plain water and getting blood.

As we serve God to the best of our ability, we also will have occasion to see God do some amazing things. God is simply looking for some people to use that will glorify Him and let Him do His work through them.

Are you willing? What is your excuse for not serving God?

Believers that would be wise in God’s wisdom need to be around the source of wisdom. The only source that we have is the Word of God – the Bible.

The Bible presents wisdom in different ways. There are positive things – things that we should do; and there are negative things that we must not do.

There are also things that we need to be. Christians need to be loving, be filled with the Spirit, be gracious, be forgiving, be praying always, etc.

Thankfully, the Bible not only shows us these things, but it also gives us the desire to do them. It does this for the heart that is in tune with God – the Word gives faith, too.

Finally, the Bible also presents us with a key to learn God’s wisdom. It is necessary to be “watching daily at my gates,” He says. This means to be in His Word daily.

For those that do get into the Word daily and apply it to their life – they are promised to be “blessed.”
