FAITH CAPSULE: Do you have an excuse to avoid His calling?

Exodus 4

When God was set to use Moses for the deliverance of the Israelites, Moses could not block his ears from hearing to avoid and answer to God if it was possible for him.
Moses does not want to answer God’s calling.
However, Moses had no choice but heard and repeatedly refused God with different excuses, claiming to be incompetent for the calling of God.
Moses responded to God’s calling with excuses, to avoid giving him for God’s calling as stated, “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 to each of Moses’ question with encouragement for Moses not to avoid God’s calling.
Moses responded to God, the Creator of all that he was not eloquent; he was slow of speech and slow of tongue. (Exodus 4:10)
The excuses of Moses before God is his agenda to avoid answering God’s calling.
Are you avoiding God’s calling just like Moses?
With God, no man’s excuse counts to deny God’s calling.
God alone is God; He creates all and He knows all more than one knows self.
God responded to Moses’ excuse about his disable with speech and his slow of the tongue, “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)
For Moses, none of his excuse was enough for him to escape God’s calling, but made him available for God.
Are you still avoiding God’s calling?
When God called out Jeremiah, there was no enough excuse to avoid the calling of God. 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 God’s direction, the calling of Jeremiah was set to be well established by God’s direction.
Whatever one is using as a ground of hiding to avoid God’s calling is definitely within the reach of God’s calling.
The same God that called Moses with speech and slow of the tongue also called young Jeremiah. God is having an appointment for you; go and ask Him where you are to go and what you are to do.
Today, where you are is not too late to deny you from answering to God’s calling, His plan for your life, for His glory.

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you from the excuse of failure.
