Midweek Motivation

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.' "God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation. Genesis 3:14-15

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with what God has called you to do? When Moses encountered God in the burning bush and God revealed to him his assignment, Moses was overwhelmed too. He, as I’m sure many of us have done, came up with excuses as to why he couldn’t succeed in his task. I’m sure his fear was close to getting the better of him.

Sometimes, we can be overwhelmed by our emotions too. Our feelings somehow find a way to control our thoughts and we lose focus. We don’t feel we can accomplish our assignment. We make excuses to God. I’ve been reminded lately instead of focusing on what I am, I need to focus on the I AM. He is everything we need and will meet every need. He who began a good work in us, will carry it on to completion.

When I am in turmoil, you are my peace.
When I feel all alone, You remind me that You are there.
