Just Do It!

You have to love Moses' final point in his debate with God over choosing him to deliver Israel: "O Lord, please send someone else to do it" (Ex 4:13).  Having run out of excuses, he gets to the root of his resistance: He just didn't even want to try something so far above his ability.

Moses' feelings of inadequacy were so strong that he didn't believe even God could help him pull off standing up to Pharoah and freeing the enslaved nation of Israel. Having fled Egypt in shame, rejected by Israel and threatened by Egypt, how could he possibly become the Emancipator of Israel - But He did!

He rose from a shepherd of Sheep to being the Shepherd of Israel, standing toe-to-toe against Pharaoh and gaining freedom for his people, not because he was so equipped for the task but because God so equipped him for it.  The final word on Moses' was incredible: "Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face (Deut 34:10). 

And, this same God can equip you to do whatever He calls you to do - despite how inadequate you may feel. In fact, God "can do more than you can ask or imagine according to His power at work within you" (Eph 3:20). When you feel God calling you to do something beyond your ability, instead of running away, put on your spiritual Nikes and with His help, "Just Do It!"
