Here are some bullet points from what we learned in part I of this series:• God tells Moses that He is sending Moses to free his people out of Egypt (Exodus 3.9-10)
• Moses keeps saying essentially, "What If...," "But why me?" (Exodus 3.11, 13; 4.1, 10)
Contrasts
So here are some contrasts and some things I want you to meditate on in order to recalibrate your mindset to become a "Moses" in the lives of those around you, in essence, to answer The Calling of God in your life!"
• Moses says "But why me?" God says "I-AM-WHO-I-AM." (Ex 3.14)
• Moses says, and I paraphrase, "What makes you think I can go and deliver your people?" God says, "I'll be with you." (see vs 3.12,18, 4.11-12,14-17
Now Be On Your Way
God sends you, says He is going to be with you. Once you know this, you must "Be on your way." It race time, time to enter into "Race Mode!" So when you ask God, "What's Next?" instead of "What If?" He will show you and then say "Now be on your way!"
Reassurance
Every time Moses objects to God and says, "What If," God continues to reassure Moses.
(see vs 3.12,18, 4.11-12,14-17)
Is God Angry?
After all the times God tells Moses that He is with him and will be right next to him teaching him what to say, Moses still pleads with God. Look at verse 4.13...
He said, "Oh, Master, please! Send somebody else!"
God's response: God got angry with Moses. Friends, God wants YOU! Don't belittle God thinking that He has made the wrong choice in choosing you. Don't allow God to be angry with you...
God Chooses YOU!
Here is the point I want to make sure we all do not miss: GOD CHOOSES YOU!!!
Exodus 3.9-10 has The Words of God Almighty saying to Moses, "I'm sending YOU to Pharaoh to bring my people, the people of Israel, out of Egypt?"
Has God spoken that to you? Has He said, "I am sending you, (your name here)!!!
Have confidence in this and go "Chase Your Lions" because when God chooses us, He always follows it with, "I will be with you"...
God always provides
God chooses Aaron. Aaron was the brother of Moses whom God tells us speaks very well. (4.14-17). Even with Aaron being a good speaker, God still tells them that He will be right there with them as they speak, teaching them step by step.
So who is God sending or using in your life to accomplish His mission? I can almost say with 100% certainty that if God is calling you to do something, then you already know the answer to this question. It could be a family member, a teacher, a mentor, a colleague. It could even be someone you have never met, but one email to this person can start the "snowball" effect that will get the process rolling! If you don't know the answer quite yet, have patience my friend, because God will show you in due time, so Pray with Expectation!!! (Ps 5.3 NIV)

God Doing His Work Through You. Be Prepared!
God said to Moses, "When you get back to Egypt, be prepared: All the wonders that I will do through you, you'll do before Pharaoh. (Exodus 4.21-23 MSG).
Domino Effect
IN his book, "In A Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day," Mark Batterson talks about taking risks and how every decision we make and every risk we are willing to take creates a "domino effect." By answering God's call in your life and asking Him, "What's Next?" instead of "What If?" you will push over that first domino that will impact the lives of generations to come! As Mark says, "You could not only change the course of history, but you could change the course of Eternity!"
What's Next?
