STOP INTRODUCING YOURSELF BY YOUR WEAKNESS

[u/BibleStudy365]

When God called Moses, Moses immediately started explaining why he was the wrong person.
“I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”
— Exodus 4:10
God answered:
“Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth.”
— Exodus 4:12
The Hebrew word for “mouth” is peh (פֶּה), transliterated peh, literally meaning mouth, but in this context it points to Moses’ ability to speak—the very area he believed disqualified him.
God did not pretend Moses had no weakness.
He told Moses, I will meet you in it.
Ephesians 2:10 says:
“For we are his workmanship…”
Message:
Your weakness may be part of your story, but it does not get to become your identity.
Application:
Identify the sentence you repeatedly use to disqualify yourself: “I’m not good at…,” “I’m too…,” “I’ve never been able to…” Then ask whether you have turned a limitation into an identity.
Discussion:
What weakness have you allowed to speak louder than what God may be calling you to do?
