Do you ever make excuses? Excuses like, “The people I work with hold me back.” “I don’t have the skills for the job.” “My parents screwed me up, it’s their fault.” “I don’t have time.” “People expect too much from me.” “God expects too much from me.” When God called Moses to a great assignment, he was full of excuses.
Do you ever feel like the task ahead of you is too big? It’s like a mountain that you don’t have the skill or energy to climb. You feel completely inadequate to take on the assignment. Let me tell you about a man named Moses.
“I don’t measure up.”
“I am not sure I have what it takes.”
“I’m physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted.”
“I’m in over my head.”
“What if I fail?”
“What will people think of me?”
Do you ever have these thoughts and questions? An inner gnawing that you are just not enough? You are not alone. Let me introduce you to a man named Moses.
Can anything separate you from Jesus? Can Sin? Defeat? The enemy? Let’s see what today’s passage says. In answer to the question, “Can anything separate you from Jesus?” the apostle Paul says…
The enemy is out to get you. Discredit you. Sit you on the sidelines. Destroy you. One of the things we need to talk to our Father about is spiritual protection. We have a dangerous adversary.
Where does temptation come from? The world? The flesh? The devil? Well, one thing we know for sure is that it doesn’t come from God.
