So my dad has struggled with praying out loud for sometime now and we talked about it the other day. He said "Cody I pray all the time to myself, but in front of a bunch of people I just get choked up" I said dad pray for God to give you words and he will...
The next night at choir he was called on to pray! AND HE DID! He called me and I was so proud! I said well how did you do? He said I think i did ok...
Yesterday in my quiet time I was lead to this scripture. Exodus 4:10-12
Here Moses pleads with the Lord, O Lord I'm just not a good speaker. I never have been, and I'm not now, even after you have spoken to me. I'm clumsy with words.
Who makes mouths? The Lord asked him. Who makes people so they speak or not speak, hear or not hear, see or not see? Is it not I, the Lord?
Then he tells Moses to go and do as he has told him. The Lord tells him I will help you speak well, and I will tell you what to say.
As followers of Christ we need to hear God's voice saying to us...You may not be able to do it on your own but I made you I know what you need and I will help you!
Moses took heed to those words and trusted in God's strength rather than focusing on what he couldn't do with his own strength.
I am proud of my dad for his outward praise in Choir practice and I know God was too!
Ab Lincoln once said without the assistance of the divine being...I can not succeed. With that assistance, I can not fail.
