When I cannot speak



I can feel it deep inside when Moses said, "Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." Exodus 4:10

This is me to a T! I write better than I talk. I feel awkward and uneasy talking to people. So how crazy is it that God would use me sometimes to share my heart and His word talking??

Well the same God was faithful to Moses when he stood in front of Pharaoh and spoke God words. He was faithful when Moses stood in front of millions of Israelites to lead them. 

Won't He be faithful to me? Isn't He powerful enough to use my words to impact people? I say yes, and I choose to do so in faith when I feel so feeble to speak when He leads me to do so. 

David prayed in Psalms 119:43, "Never take your word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in your laws." 

What a powerful prayer to hold on to when I feel disabled from speaking. When weakness overwhelms. When there seems to be no willing audience. 

He is the treasure in the jar of clay. He's powerful enough to take the words I offer Him and bless and multiply it. Even to impact those who hear. 

Has He given you a testimony? A message to share? The people He's placed around you need to hear. Trust your God, speak those words and watch what He does.
