But Moses pleaded with the Lord. "O Lord, I'm not very good with words, I never have been, and I'm not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled." Then the Lord asked Moses, "Who makes a person's mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say." But Moses again pleaded, "Lord, please! Send anyone else."
Moses pleaded with God to let him out of his mission. After all, he was not a good speaker and would probably embarrass both himself and God. But God looked at Moses' problem quite differently. All Moses needed was some help, and who better than God to help him say and do the right things? God made his mouth and would give him the words to say. It is easy for us to focus on our weaknesses, but if God asks us to do something, then he will help us get the job done. If the job involves some of our weak area, then we can trust that he will provide words, strength, courage, and ability where needed. Don't be discouraged, when God tells you to do something that you are not strong in, just trust him and let him surprise you! Sometimes all we are doing is making excuses so that we don't have to do it and we think it is very convenient that we can use our weaknesses. Look even if we argue with God, we will still do what he says because he never looses! Don't let your fears get in the way of doing extraordinary things for God, just ask for him to help you every step of the way and you will soon realize that you are stronger than you thought.
