Episode 91: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 57

Episode Summary:

And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. (Exodus 4:10-14)

181 Did God feel sorry for Moses with all of his weaknesses, said, “Poor little Moses, something—something sure has happened to you, you fell from your degree. Oh, my! Here, yeah, you was a great man, an intellectual, and there wasn’t nothing going to stop you. Brother, you had all your Ph.D.’s and LL.D.’s, and everything else, and now here you come confessing that you are nothing, you can’t do a thing. You’re—you’re just so weak”? No! God wasn’t sorry for him. God never took pity on him. God had him cured then of all that stuff. He wasn’t sorry for him.

182 But we find out, if you’re putting it down, Exodus 4:14, “The anger of God was kindled against him.” God wasn’t sorry for him ’cause he was weak.

183 You say, “O Lord, I just feel so bad, I don’t believe I could do it.” God don’t feel sorry for you; feels like kicking you around a little bit. See? See? Sure. God don’t feel sorry for you; He—He gets angry with you. You’re just getting in shape then to where He can use you. Yeah.

184 Moses getting cured up, God can use him. He had the cure, he was away from human abilities then. He didn’t have nothing he could rely upon then, ’cause he—he was ready then for the service.

185 God said, “Forty years out here I’ve had you and Zipporah fussing and carrying around out here in this wilderness, whether you could find out there’s human weakness or not, where you’re standing up there as a big prince, ‘Hello, Doctor Moses. Good morning, Reverend, Sir. Yes, sir. Moses, you’re the coming prince. All…We all think of you.’ Now you’re out here in the desert with a bunch of sheep and a high-tempered wife.” See? That fixed him up. Yes, sir. Moses in an awful shape, but He said, “Now I can use you, when you realize that you’re nothing. Now come on up here by this burning bush, I want to send you down yonder.” Oh, my!

186 God, give us some more of that kind, give us some more weaklings. That’s what we need, some weaklings. Sure!
