NOT ME SURELY!

2 Corinthians 4:7 

But we carry this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.



I was rereading the Moses story recently and One of the things I love most about Moses’ story is how ill-equipped he seemed to be for the task God called him to. By his own admission, he was slow in speech and tongue (Exodus 4:10-12), lacking the natural ability to speak articulately. And God was calling him to publicly speak with the Egyptian Pharoah on behalf of all Israel! 
Moses’ story is a great example of the truth of the well known saying, that "God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips those He calls." Moses begged God to send someone else, but through his weakness, God’s power was on display. We see that in Moses’ life, and I pray we see this in our lives too.

The Apostle Paul in our verse today encourages us to recognize that we carry a great treasure, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and God has specifically called us to share it, despite any misgivings we may have. Saying yes to God, saying yes to this call, means learning to step into His faithfulness along the journey. Remember, "God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips those He calls."
