Exodus 3:10
Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
EXODUS 3:10
The call to Moses culminates in a direct sending: Moses is to confront Pharaoh and secure Israel’s release. The paradox of a reluctant leader being chosen for such a monumental task is central to the drama. God’s commissioning here transitions the scene from revelation to mission.
This moment asserts God’s sovereignty in choosing imperfect vessels for overwhelming tasks. It also emphasizes God’s desire to involve humanity in his redemptive work. Moses’ hesitation contrasts with God’s confident resolve, underscoring that success depends on God’s power, not human brilliance.
God often invites you into daunting tasks, not because you’re fearless but because God is sufficient. Practical step: identify a courageous action you’ve been avoiding—calling a difficult person, initiating reconciliation, or taking leadership in a project—and take a concrete step this week, relying on God’s strength rather than your own.
