Exodus 6

Bible Gateway link Chapter 6

Yahweh....Jehovah.....the Lord...no matter how you translate (different bible versions use all three translations mentioned) it it comes back to GOD, not a god, not one of many gods...the GOD. A name so powerful, so reverent that even today some Jewish sects will not fully write it on paper, and when they do write the variation, that paper will not be thrown away!

God tells Moses, "now you will see what I will do", Like a patience parent God has listened to Moses, God has taken in all of Moses' doubts, and fears, and now God tells him, "now you will see."

If you have ever asked yourself, "why would God take any time for me", if you have doubted your worth to God, or if you have ever thought that you are not a strong enough person for the Lord to use as a major part of his plan; this chapter is for you! Moses loves God, yet does not believe in himself. He cannot bring himself to believe that God is going to bring about life changing events using him as the leader. God will not be moved, through him we all can accomplish any task he puts before us. Each one of us has worth, each one of us is valuable and important to God's work. You might not believe in yourself, but God does, and I will tell you the truth, if God believes in you, then how could you ever think about doubting yourself?

Peace,
Brian
