Exodus 4: No Excuses

Last updated on: March 15, 2012 at 11:22 am   By Dillon Burroughs

13 But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.” -Exodus 4:13 Moses is one of history’s greatest leaders. Yet he began as a person who said, “Please send someone else.” God’s response? Where God calls, he provides. God sent his brother Aaron and gave him signs to show to the people of Israel. When God calls us today, we often makes excuses, just like Moses. When we run out of excuses, we are forced to fall back... Read more

“23 During that long period, the king of Egypt died.
