Right Where He Wants Us

Exodus 5:22-6:1
"So Moses returned to the LORD and said, 'Lord, why have You brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent me? For since I came to Pharoah to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered Your people at all.'
Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Now you shall see what I will do to Pharoah. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.'"

Moses is really seeing the human impossibility of the task God has given him; he has reached the point where all he can see is "I can't". The beauty of it is, that's right where God wants him! Because now, God says, Moses will see what the LORD can do.
God had to bring Moses to the point where he knew he couldn’t do what God had called him to do. Once that was abundantly clear, then it became equally clear that anything good that did happen was unquestionably God’s work. In the next 7 verses (Exodus 6:2-8), as the Lord is encouraging Moses and exhorting him to press on in the face of the impossible, He keeps repeating one very important phrase: "I am the LORD." He says it 4 times in the space of these 7 verses. 'Nuff said! I smile as I read it, because it's almost as if God is saying, "Come on, people, I'm GOD! Just what is it you think is going to stop Me?!"
I believe that God does not give us little human-sized visions or missions, but that He calls us to accomplish God-sized tasks so He can work through us. We grow in Him and He gets the glory!

So when you reach the end of your rope, and all you can see is "I can't"--great! That's right where He wants you. God can, so press on in what He has called you to do. After all, He is the LORD!
