Why Moses?
Ex 4:9-18
He is so reluctant. Not that I wouldn’t be. Not that I’m not.
But why does God persist with Moses, with the reluctance?
It’s a strange perspective. Knowing as Creator that this one was made for this purpose, yet in the freedom of self, the person resists his purpose. Like encouraging a frightened child to step up to the plate and actually swing the bat. The child wants to. He wants to hit the long ball. He wants to enter into the possibility. But what if he misses. What if he strikes out. What if he looks silly. These are the things that keep the child from even wanting to approach the plate.
Conflict. Conflicted.
We really are deeply bound by this. If it’s not one thing, then another.
Avoidance, anxiety. How long O Lord?
