“Where Can I Get Confidence?”
INSECURITY
Exodus 3:7-10 The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have
heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. (8) So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. (9) And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. (10) So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the
Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.”
Exodus 4:10-16 Moses said to the LORD, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been
eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” (11) The LORD said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the LORD? (12) Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” (13) But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.” (14) Then the LORD’s anger burned against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you. (15) You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth; I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. (16) He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth and as if you were God to him.

1. BEING CLOSE TO GOD DOES NOT ELIMINATE INSECURITY

2. MOSES HAD A PROBLEM THAT NEEDED ADDRESSED
Exodus 4:10 “I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to
your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”
Acts 7:22 Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and
was powerful in speech and action.

3. GOD’S POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that
Christ’s power may rest on me.
