Know Who You Are in God

SERIES: BEWARE OF THE LITTLE THINGS 9/22/13

In Exodus chapters 3 and 4, when God calls Moses as the deliver of Israel, Moses gives God every excuse in the book why he can’t do what God is calling Him to do. As soon as God counters one excuse, Moses comes up with another one. But the underlying issue, the root of Moses’ reluctance, is found in the first three words of his question in Gen 3:11, “Who am I?” He had an insecurity issue. He did not know his own identity. He was so insecure, he didn’t even feel he could speak (4:10), and he had to have Aaron help him with the call that God had given him. Insecurity almost kept Moses from God’s destiny for His life.

Insecurity is another little fox, that spoils the vine. It is a subtle danger that can have great consequences. Today as we consider the problem of insecurity, and most of us struggle with it, we will find that the only answer for insecurity is knowing who we are in God.
