Real life situation: Someone comes and says “I’ve got a job for you.” Possible responses: “Who am I that you’d ask me to do something that important?” “What if they don’t believe me that my orders are from the boss?” “What if the others won’t listen to me?” “I’m really not very good at that kind of thing.” “Can’t you just send someone else?” (If you didn’t recognize it, this is how Moses responded to God choosing him to lead Israel out of Egypt in Exodus chapter 3 and 4.)
Are you ever like this? Do you question your ability to do something? How do you respond to new challenges?
What about your dreams? Do you believe they won’t come to be for one reason or another? Do you hope one kind of life for yourself, but expect quite another?
How do you see yourself right NOW? How much do you think you bring to the table of “just getting through” in this life?
