I’m helpless without the Lord; I can’t make it alone. I need Him every minute of every day. You might believe that’s a sign of weakness. So be it. Life is a sink or swim situation and Jesus is my life jacket. He keeps me afloat.

I have something in common with Moses; he knew that he’d fail without God. He felt both unworthy and inadequate; yet, he found the Lord faithful. Moses first gave Jehovah excuses when awarded the assignment of leading the Israelites to the Promised Land.

“Then the anger of the Lord burned against Moses, and He said, ‘Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be overjoyed. So you are to speak to him and put the words in his mouth; and I Myself will be with your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you are to do (Exodus 4:14-15 NASB).”

The children of Israel rebelled repeatedly; they tested God’s patience and Moses’ faith.

“Now then, if I have found favor in Your sight in any way, please let me know Your ways so that I may know You, in order that I may find favor in Your sight. Consider too, that this nation is Your people.’ And He said, ‘My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.’ Then he said to Him, ‘If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here (Exodus 33:13-15 NASB).”

Moses never walked alone; God’s presence empowered him and gave him peace.
