God calls Moses to bring his people out of Egypt. Moses had been willing to liberate Israel forty years ago (Acts 7:25). Now he lists his excuses not to go:
Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh…? (Exodus 3:11).
Whom do I tell the Israelites has sent me? (Exodus 3:13).
What if they do not believe me? (Exodus 4:1).
I cannot do it: I cannot speak very well (Exodus 4:10).
Please send someone else (Exodus 4:13).
The Lord answers all his objections but in the end he becomes angry at his unwillingness (Exodus 4:14). He sends Moses to Egypt. And Moses obeys.
1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
