Verses 10-15– “10Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
13And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
God calls us to work for Him, and we know that we are unworthy; however, God empowers those whom he calls. When we can say that the Always-In-the Present God, the One of completely independent existence, The One who is without beginning and without end, The Great I Am has sent us, we need not feel inadequate.
God called Moses who had been a murderer and an angry man. This is no softening of God’s standard, but is evidence of God’s amazing grace. Those who are truly called to serve the King of Glory almost always feel unworthy (see Is. 6:5; Jer. 1:6; I Tim. 1:15). And we should feel that way! But thank God for his grace that is greater than all our sin.
