Moses' Life Proves Excuses Don't stop God's Calling NKJV


Exodus 2:1-4 And A man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi.

So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.

But when she could not longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river's bank.

And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

Exodus 2:11-12 Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

Exodus 3:9-11 "Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

"Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.

But Moses said to God. "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?

Exodus 4:1-5 Then Moses answered and said, "But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, "The LORD has not appeared to you.'"

So the LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" He said, "A rod."

And he said, "Cast it on the ground." So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Reach out your hand and take it by the tail" (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand),

"that they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you."

Exodus 4:6-9 Furthermore the LORD said to him, "Now put your hand in your bosom." and he put his hand in his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, like snow.

And he said, "Put your hand in your bosom again." So he put his hand in his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was restored like his other flesh.

"Then it will be, if they do not believe you, nor heed the message of the first sign, that they may believe the message of the latter sign.

"And it shall be, if they do not believe even the these two signs, or listen to your voice, that you shall take water from the river and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take from the river will become blood on the dry land."

Exodus 4:10-12 Then Moses said to the LORD, "O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.

So the LORD said to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the LORD?

"Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say."

Exodus 19:7-9 So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.

Then all the people answered together and said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do." So Moses brought back words of the people to the LORD. And the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever." So Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.

Psalm 94:9-12 He who planted the ear, shall he not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?

He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?

The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.

Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O LORD, And teach out of Your law,

That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.

Matthew 11:1-6 Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.

And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

and said to Him, "Are you the Coming One, Or do we look for another?"

Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see;

"The blind see and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

"And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."
