In Exodus chapter 4 Moses had an amazing encounter with God. He had been raised in Pharaoh’s home with education and privilege, and even tried to be Israel’s deliverer by his own power. He saw an Egyptian beating a fellow Hebrew and he struck down the Egyptian and buried him in the sand. But Pharaoh quickly found out and Moses had to run for his life. He then spent 40 years in the desert of Midian.

One day as Moses was pasturing his father-in-law’s flock he saw a burning bush. It was on fire but was not consumed. He turned aside to look, and behold, God called to him from the midst of the fire.

God called Moses to be the deliverer of Israel. “Go and gather the elders of Israel together and tell them that I am indeed concerned about them and what has been done to them in Egypt.” Then in verse 18 He said, “They will listen to what you say, though the king of Egypt will not listen except under compulsion.”

Moses was afraid and didn’t want to go so he gave God a series of excuses. And this is where the story applies to our lives. Many people do not move as God wants them to move or do what God wants them to do because of fear.

But God has an answer to fear. And when people start beating around the bush, pardon the pun, God confronts their excuses. Last chapter, Moses responded by saying, “Who am I that I should lead the sons of Israel out of Egypt?” God responded, “I will be with you.” In other words, deliverance for Israel does depend on who are, but on who I am and I will be with you.

Then Moses said, “I am going to the sons of Israel and when I say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ they will say to me, ‘What is His name?” What shall I say to them? God answered, “I am who I am, you shall say, ‘I am has sent me to you.’ This will be my memorial name to all generations.”

That is the key to what God wants us to apply to our lives as well.

I. Do What God is Asking
 Verse 1, Moses says, “What if they will not believe me, or listen to what I say?”
 What’s interesting is that God already told Moses that they would listen. But Moses is afraid and tries to cover with excuses.

A. God has a purpose for your life

 God wants to do something with your life. He gives you a life to do something with it, to have a purpose and a meaning. Many people are afraid that their lives won’t amount to anything, but they’re also afraid to do anything about it.

 There is no one who is insignificant in the kingdom of God. He has decided to use you to make a difference in other people’s lives.
 Every one of us knows people who are hurting, who are oppressed, and who need the help of God in their lives.
 Paul wrote that God has given us the privilege of reconciling people God…
