Moses and humility

When God called to Moses out of the burning bush, this must have been a life-changing experience. Here is a man who is an outsider--he's not accepted as an Egyptian, not accepted as an Israelite, he is just outside of fitting in anywhere. God, however, is not looking for an inside man to do the job He has for Moses to do. He is looking for a man of passion. A man who is passionate about his people's welfare and unity. Obviously he is passionate! He killed an Egyptian for beating an Israelite. Then he butts in to the fight of two Israelites who are at odds with one another, only to be told to mind his own business. As a matter of fact, the Israelite who was in the wrong asks Moses, "Who made you boss over us?" Little does Moses realize at the time that God will make him boss over them. Moses runs away from the situation, afraid for his life, and ends up in Midian. There he is a shepherd--seemingly out of the whole Egyptian/Israelite conflict. The burning bush proves otherwise for him, for God finds him where he is and calls him into his destiny. Moses in Exodus 3 asks God in essence, "Who do you think I am that I could go to Pharaoh and tell him anything?" And this is where we find the important lesson; God responds, "I will be with you." So if God tells us to do something, instead of asking ourselves, "Who am I to do such a thing?" we need to ask, "Who is there that can stop God?" Then we can humbly obey, with our importance not over or under-rated.
