Four Fears That Keep Us From Serving God

(Ex 3:10) "Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt." This verse was the direct command of God to Moses as He spoke to him from the burning bush. The command to "come," has much to say about the call of Moses. Like Moses, every Christian today is commanded to come and obey the will of God. God fully expected Moses to "come now but instead Moses made up four excuses because he feared to go. 1) He feared being "unworthy," 2) He feared being "unprepared," 3) He feared being"uncertain," and 4) He feared being "unable."Brethren, these four fears are common to all that are called by God to "go." For if we like Moses look at the impossibility of our own ability, we too will fear and make up excuses for why we can't. That's why God promised Moses that "Certainly I will be with thee;…" The call of Moses teaches us that it's common to fear, but it also teaches us that God is very capable of taking the weak of this world to accomplish that which is impossible, if that servant will but trust in Him!
