Come on God, Moses had an unfair advantage!

Check out this Scripture from Exodus!

Exodus 4:1-5(NKJV)
1Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’”
2So the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”
3And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 
4Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail” (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand), 
5“that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”

Dude!  Come on!  I'll bet I could lead a whole bunch of people to Christ if I could do stuff like that!  Think about it.  To be able to witness to people and then to be able to say "You want proof that God is real?  Watch this!" .  To be able to turn a stick into a live snake and back right in front of people!  Come on God, that gives Moses an unfair advantage!

Or does it?

Instead of parlor tricks, we have a much more powerful advantage.  That advantage would be to share the very real and very powerful life changing experience that we have through our relationship with Jesus Christ.  I don't think there are many advantages at our disposal that are more powerful than sharing our own heartfelt testimony of what God has been able to accomplish in our lives.

We have an advantage that would probably leave Moses saying "Come on God, they have an unfair advantage!"  Are you using that advantage to the fullest?

  1. I couldn't agree more! One of the best tools we have is our own personal experiences. It can really show people how real Christ is!
