"I Will Teach You What To Say"

Exodus 4:10,12


Moses said to the Lord, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent. I am slow of speech and tongue." The Lord said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Is it not I the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."

O my Father, I know that You have not given me to gain any collage degrees or high positions or mighty credits on my resume, yet You have seen fit to allow me to be taught how to study Your Word, how to draw out what You have put there, rather than try to find validation of what I may want to find there. You have also given me Your Spirit to teach me Your Truth, and to see how You have "lined up the dots" so that I can connect them. You have given me to write this blog to share with others what You are teaching me. 

You have shown me what You are doing, to accomplish Your Plan of the Ages, and I have read "the end of the story," and I have begun to understand how You are working in this world, among the Nations and in the lives of Your people and the leaders of this world. Help me, Father, to be Your hands and Your feet and Your voice to do Your work, to share with others how much You love them and have already met all their needs in Your Son Jesus through His death and resurrection. Help me to help to prepare Your people for the trials to come, that are already beginning to manifest even today. 

O Father, You have helped me to speak, and taught me what to say. Now, I pray, please bring those who need to hear to be drawn ever closer to You, Father, and to be strong, courageous and faithful through the times to come.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
