Embrace The Stutter

Have we ever felt like God chose the wrong person when He called us to a mission? This powerful message explores Moses' struggle with his stuttering problem and how it reveals something profound about our own hesitations to follow God's calling. Through Exodus chapters 3 and 4, we witness Moses encountering God through miraculous signs—a staff turning into a serpent, his hand becoming leprous and then restored, water promised to turn to blood—yet his lingering thought remains fixed on his speech impediment. This reveals a universal truth: we all know something about ourselves that we believe disqualifies us from God's work. The beauty of this message is that God's confidence in us must outweigh our doubts about ourselves. When Moses protests that he is slow of speech and slow of tongue, God responds with a piercing question: Who made your mouth? This reminds us that the very things we see as limitations, God sees as part of His design. The version of ourselves that God speaks to doesn't always align with the version we see in the mirror. We're challenged to hear God over our doubts as a daily decision, recognizing that just because we're forgiven doesn't mean we've forgotten our past. Yet God has contingency plans for every season of our lives, meeting us wherever we are with a purpose that transcends our perceived inadequacies.
