True Worship that Liberates

11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to
Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
In our own lives we may question ourselves in certain situations. One might not have the full confidence to step out of our comfort zone but we must remember to always turn to the Lord during those times. In the passage above we see Moses questioning himself and feeling a sense of insecurity. He questions why God had chosen him to go to Egypt and God tells him that he will be with him throughout it all. Moses had to realize that he was called upon by God for a reason. He was called to go to the Egyptians and let the Israelites free. He had to remember to put his faith in the Lord and truly believe that every step that he takes, he takes with the Lord. True faith and worship would liberate the Israelites.
When we face taking a risk, we often doubt ourselves. We start questioning every single detail of the situation when we should actually focus on the positive aspects of the situation. There is a reason why we were chosen to step up to the plate. There is a reason why we are supposed to be standing where we are. If we have not found that right path, we know that God will be there with us as we find that righteous path. He is there leading us day by day. We may have not found it yet but we will once we realize that we should put all our faith in him. He stood by Moses as he went to let his people go and he stands by us as he helps us liberate our own lives.

THOUGHT
FOR THE DAY:
If your heart is telling you to go for it, then go for it. In any situation, just get up and go because God will be there by your side anywhere, anytime, and every day. It’s as simple as that.
