Arguing with God

Did you know Moses stood in the presence of God at the burning bush—and argued with Him? It wasn’t just arguing over God’s plan to lead the Israelites out of exile. Oh no! He argued with God over what He said Moses could do. He argued that he wasn’t good enough for the job.

It’s pretty ironic when you think about it. Arguing that you’re not equipped to do a job—with the One who created you. But he did. 

We do, too, don’t we? “God, I don’t know how to teach, speak, parent, write, disciple, draw, calculate, help, build, cook, witness, play an instrument, lead, save money, spend money, create, counsel…fill in the blank.” 

But if God has called you to do those things, don’t you think He knows your giftings—and your limitations? The point is…He called you. He will do it through you.  He’s the One who is able.  

Moses argued long enough that God became angry and called Aaron to come and speak for Moses. But that wasn’t His first and best plan. I wonder how things would have been different if Moses had just agreed with God and obeyed?

I guess I can find out when I agree with God about His plan for me.
