Exodus 4:10-12
Moses said to the Lord, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." The Lord said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say."
Thank goodness for that. Coming from someone with a lisp who has been called to talk to people. That makes me feel so much better. I have all these ideas in my head, that when they come out on paper or from my mouth, they never sound right. I thank Him that He will give me the words. He will tell me what to say and when to say it.
I wonder how much better we would all be doing if we really sought His wisdom in situations where a good "talk" needs to be had. I know in my past, present and ( I'm sure ) my future, there have been and will be times when I will say what ever comes to my head. There seems to be an express route from thought to verbalization in my body. However, I am trying to seek God first before I go and become a vocal waterfall of unnecessary opinion. I'll pray for you, so please pray for me.
