His strength is perfected in our weakness…. (devo reflection)

Exodus 3:1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law….
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Moses, who was raised as Egyptian royalty, who had confidence in his ability to save “his own people,” who wasn’t accepted by his birth culture nor his adoptive culture, has spent the last 40 years tending someone else’s sheep in the dessert. Any cocky, self-assuredness is long gone. And now God calls to him.
Exodus 3:4 …God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.”
But here is what I’ve noticed about our precious Savior: He has to bring us to the end of ourselves so that we realize we cannot do His will in our own power. We are not strong enough on our own for the tasks He calls us to, but in partnership with Him, we absolutely are. His strength is perfected in our weakness. Thank You, Jesus.
Exodus 3:10 “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for this reminder that You have called us and equipped us, but You want us to act always through Your strength and not our own. Help us to find that precious middle ground where we recognize that we can’t do it in our own strength, but we can absolutely do it in partnership with You. Draw us closer. Amen.
Exodus 3:11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
Have a blessed day.
