11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
It does not matter who you are I’m with you
Moses Hid behind Incorrect theology . We are Often Burdened by what God ask us to do because we often think. That He wants us to be the deliver.

Must be Delivered from a Lack of Intimacy

In response to Moses first excuse God essentially said said: Moses I don't want help you do this through me. I want to do this through you.
We say I can’t do this for you and God says Then let me do it through you
Insufficient knowledge of who God is
Excuse 2 = Who Are You ? = Moses felt a lack of Intimacy. He didn’t know God well enough for Him to describe Him to the people
Argument 2: he felt the people were ignorant of God and would be skeptical of God’s power to truly help them
Moses hid behind insufficient knowledge. God countered Moses second Excuse with this Truth Its not what you know that counts its who you know.
Excuse 2 = Who Are You ? =
We say I don’t know enough God says You know Me that's enough

[alteration of obsolete intime, from Latin intimus] 1632
1 a: INTRINSIC, ESSENTIAL
b: belonging to or characterizing one’s deepest nature
2: marked by very close association, contact, or familiarity 〈intimate knowledge of the law〉
3 a: marked by a warm friendship developing through long association 〈intimate friends〉
b: suggesting informal warmth or privacy

13 Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?”
14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ”
The fuller form of the name may be rendered “I am who I am,” “I will be who I will be,” or even “I cause to be what is.” God’s response is not a “name” that makes God an object of definition or limitation. Rather, it is an affirmation that God is always subject, always free to be and act as God wills. The earliest Greek rendering “I am the one who is” or “I am Being” has been especially significant in the development of theology.

Excuse 3= What if they don’t listen
Moses felt Intimidate. He worried about the peoples reaction to him

Argument 4: he felt he was not eloquent, not a gifted speaker

Moses hid behind a Inferior Self Concept. But the Lord Confirmed its not who you are that matters its who I’m
We say no one will respect me God says that’s not important whats important is that they respect me
2 The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A staff.”
3 And he said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it.
4 But the Lord said to Moses, “Put out your hand and catch it by the tail”—so he put out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand—
5 “that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
6 Again, the Lord said to him, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” And he put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous like snow.
7 Then God said, “Put your hand back inside your cloak.” So he put his hand back inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, it was restored like the rest of his flesh.
8 “If they will not believe you,” God said, “or listen to the first sign, they may believe the latter sign.
9 If they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground, and the water that you shall take from the Nile will become blood on the dry ground.”

22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
11 Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.”

Excuse # 5 I Know that You can find someone else
Argument 5: he just did not want to go; he refused, asking God to send someone else

Moses felt Inferior, He compared himself to other people , even his own brother and He decided that he came up short.
13 But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.”
14 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

Moses hid behind Inadequate Ability ( speech) When God calls us to a task He will enable us to do that which He commands. The Lords response to this excuse. It’s not your ability that counts but mine.
We say I don't have the ability God says my Grace is sufficient its My ability that counts
Moses hid behind incomplete trust ( send someone else ) God always has a man or woman ready when He needs one.
We say God send someone else God says This is not a request
When it comes to God’s Will
Commitment comes first, Conformation Second = Step into the water
Obedience First, New Instruction second = New Instructions are given only after the first one is obeyed
Routine Requirements first great responsibilities second
