FAITH CAPSULE: Your running away from God is over.

Exodus 4

At the calling of God over the life of Moses, for the deliverance of the Israelites, Moses could not block his ears to avoid answering to the calling of God.
Moses had no way but repeatedly refused God with different excuses, claiming incompetent in answering the calling of God.
Eventually, Moses answered a series of the callings of God, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.” (Exodus 4:1)
God answered each of the questions of Moses with an answer to encourage Moses.
Moses responded to the encouragement of God:
Moses said he was not eloquent, slow in speech and tongue. (Exodus 4:10)
Moses attempted to avoid answering the call of God over his life.
Are you avoiding the calling of God just like Moses?
With God, there was no way to block or hide from His calling.
God responded to his speech, slow in the tongue of excuse: “So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and He said: “Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And look, he is also coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.  Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do.” (Exodus 4:14-15)
Moses demonstrated one running from God but could not hide from the assignment of God.
Are you still avoiding the calling of God?
Do you have a place to hide that is not within the reach of the calling of God?
When God called Jeremiah, God did not consider any place of escape for Jeremiah not to answer His direction.
However, at the calling of Jeremiah, Jeremiah considered himself a youth, but God responded, “…Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you…” (Jeremiah 1:7-8)
The calling for Moses was with the direction of God.
Also, Jeremiah was to be well established by the direction of God.
There is no ground to hide to avoid answering to God when He calls.
The same God called Moses with speech and slow tongue, also called young Jeremiah.
He has an appointment for you, and ask Him where you are to go and what you are to do.
From where you are, it is not too late to ask God for His mercy to get you on track living for His glory.

Prayer for today: Pray not to be a victim of not answering the calling of God.
