Exodus 4:1-31
In
Moses, there is great weakness. In the Lord, there is great strength.
By himself, Moses was completely out of his depth. With God, Moses would
go from strength to strength. He had God's promise as well as God's
command: "Now go, and I will help you speak and will teach you what to
say" (Exodus 4:12). Moses was not to be left on his own. As well as
having the help of the Lord, he would also have the help of Aaron, his
brother: "I will help both of you speak, and I will teach you what to
do" (Exodus 4:15). Moses and Aaron were not to work in isolation from
the other "leaders of the people of Israel." They were to share with
them "everything the Lord had said" (Exodus 4:29-30). God's Word to
Israel was a Word of power - He "did miraculous signs for the people"
(Exodus 4:30) - and love - "The Lord was concerned about the people of
Israel" (Exodus 4:31).
