To Do Or Not To Do...

  We can not truly qualify 

until we feel unqualified

The mastermind of weak excuse

Can always find fine reasons to

Think someone else could better fill

The shoes needed to walk uphill

…and as far as that other task

Surely there’s someone else to ask

Rather than bother 'poor old me'

Not eloquent as he or she

Ah, surely God can understand

Why I decline to lend a hand

Or take a flying leap of trust

Because I hate the taste of dust

Don’t think too ill of me, I plead

If I’m not fit to fill this need

Forgive me if I seem to prove

A lack of faith, goodness or love

I never was as fit as they

Who seem equipped for come-what-may

So please, choose one more qualified

I hate the sting of injured pride

Then deep within I hear a voice

Child, I am not pleased with your choice

For only when you yield your heart

Can I become the greater part

Unless you swallow fear and pride

You will remain unqualified

Until you recognize your need

My grace can never intercede

It's hard to choose only a few verses out of such a great story as that of Moses!

Ex.4:10-13
 (click the link for the whole passage!)

  Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, 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 human beings their mouths? 

Who makes them deaf or mute? 

Who gives them sight or makes them blind? 

Is it not I, the Lord?  

 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”

 But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”...
