God is talking to Moses, telling him exactly what he needs to say to the Israelites so that they will understand and believe that He is who He says and does what He promises. The unspoken subtext is: “You, Moses, are my hands, feet, and voice to the Israelites. Here is exactly what you need to say.”
Exodus 3:15b “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.
It seems pretty cut and dried with little room for doubt….However, Moses, like me, is fleshly and human. He does doubt. He does fear. He does question. He allows God to use him anyway… eventually, but he puts obstacles in his own path because of his doubts.
Exodus 3:16 “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.
Lord, You are the God of all creation. I am Your hands and feet and voice to the world. Help me not to doubt and fear. Help me not to put obstacles in my own path. Help me to say, “Here I am, Lord” and to listen and obey Your word, Your will. Amen.
Exodus 3:17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’
Have a blessed day.
