What's GTD?

Scripture: Exodus 3 Key Verse: 3:11


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

Objective:


The story of the calling of Moses to bring the people out of Egypt. We see the Lord speak to Moses through a burning Bush. The Lord tells Moses what to do, and Moses, being Moses, has a ton of questions of clarification.

Application:


Have you ever had a moment where you ask yourself, "Why me?" Maybe it is because you were asked to do something that seems huge, or something bad is happening to you. I can completely understand how Moses reacted here, because it is pretty much the same way I reacted when I felt the Lord call me to ministry. Who Am I to do that? Interestingly God says you are not, I Am. You see God doesn't ask us to move a mountain by 5 o'clock, then leaves only to return at 4:59 to make sure it was done. Even when we don;t realize God standing next to us, it's not because he isn't there. More likely the reason we don't see him, is we are looking in the wrong direction. If you trust and walk with God, then he will prepare a way for you to get things done.
Sometimes the opposite is true. We are asked to do things that are too small for us or at least we think. We ask "why me, I can move so much more than this pebble." Maybe it's because the Lord knows that we are trying to do it on our own. The truth is God is in the small things too.

Prayer:


May we be a people that hears the call of action and rises to the occasion; not on our own power but on your power Lord. May we always remember that you are with us in the big things and the small things. Use me Lord to move a mountain or a pebble. Focus me on getting the things done that you want me to get done.
