This blog post is based off of Exodus 3:1-22 from the "New Women's Devotional Bible".
The story of Moses and the burning bush is one that we read and understand that God does what He needs to do in order to get our attention. Like Moses, a lot of times we have a relationship with God but we go about our busy schedules and lives and never take them time to ask God what we need to be doing for Him. It took an ordinary event, like a bush on fire that wasn't burning up, to catch Moses' attention and gave God the chance to speak to him.
There may have been times when God was trying to tell me to do something and I was too ignorant to see it. Maybe a certain situation kept arising and I was supposed to get it. Has God been calling you to do something? If so, how have you responded?
There are many times in life where we may answer the call with the same way that Moses did, "I'm not good enough". There are plenty of excuses we could give God for not doing something He asks us, but it may just boil down to just not wanting to do it. Don't you think that if God call us to do something He will equip us for the task? Probably so!
We need to make sure that we are becoming available to God and realizing those times when He needs us to do something. We need to trust that He will equip us for the task and give us the strength to complete it. Remember, "God doesn't look for abilities; He looks for availabilities."
"In a very real sense, not one of us is qualified, but it seems that God continually chooses the most unqualified to do his work, to bear his glory." Madeleine L'Engle
