Moses answered God, “But why me? What makes you think that I could ever go to Pharaoh and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
“I’ll be with you,” God said.
MATTHEW 10:16 (MSG)
Stay alert. This is hazardous work I’m assigning you. You’re going to be like sheep running through a wolf pack, so don’t call attention to yourselves. Be as shrewd as a snake, inoffensive as a dove.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Much of what God assigns us to do happens in unfriendly territory.
PRAYER
God, I'm relieved when I'm reminded that you're always here with me. I shouldn't need such reminding. But I get so caught up in the drama around me that I forget who I am and your confidence in me. Help me to tap into your presence in my life, not only so that I can tackle the assignments you give me, but also so that I can truly know who I am. I'm going to stay alert to the drama around me as well as to your Spirit's indwelling presence in me. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
