Reflect
What part of God’s reminder to Moses encourages you the most?
"As Moses thought back over his checkered past and his very average aptitudes, he must have wondered how this could be. He felt insecure and inadequate. Nonetheless, he responded to God’s initiative, and from that day his life was never the same—just as your life will never be the same once you embark on the adventure of a growing, vital relationship with God." —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
Respond
Write a short prayer, based on today’s reading. This could include praise, gratitude, personal confession, agreement with the truth, or a request for yourself or someone else.
