Exodus 4:1-5

GOD: “Go rescue the Hebrews from slavery in the country of Egypt!”

MOSES: “I’m not the right guy!”

GOD: “You’re EXACTLY the right guy! Just do as I say. Moses, what’s in your hand?”

Moses had a staff AND was raised in the royal Egyptian family as an adopted son of the princess; he spoke the language; he knew the culture; he knew some of the leaders; he was brave and strong deep down; he knew how to shepherd, comfortable in the wilderness…AND GOD WAS WITH HIM GUIDING HIM!
