Lesson Scripture: Exodus 4: 10-16, 27-31
Lesson Aims: To examine the holes in Moses' excus
es: to appreciate God's intervention into human affairs:
and to be confident in His Call on our lives.
Background: Several
decades ago. Danniebelle
Hall penned "God Uses
Ordinary People."* The
basic idea of the song was
God using regular people
such as ourselves. He
issued the Call and the indi
viduals were expected to
see the task through. God
uses people from every
walk of life - rich or poor,
male or female, powerful or
weak, urban or rural and
one ethnic group or another.
God took their "little" and
made it much tor His purposes, when 'He cans an indi
vidual. most of us think of it in an orderly fashion - the
call, the preparation, and the delivery. On occasion. God
prepared the person first and then called them. Don't for
get Jeremiah, Esther and our lead person in today's les
son. Moses. Once he lived high on the hog as we say, but
now he was tending sheep (what a fall) when he heard

issues resolved. While being an
Egyptian on the surface, his
upbringing also included his real
heritage. When he attempted to
take matters into his own hands,
he had to flee for his life w inding
up in Midian. Forty years later.
God called him to return to
Egypt to lead His people out of
bondage. Our lesson for today
continues to examine Moses'
rejection of the Call.
Lesson: As mentioned earli
er. Moses comes up with an
array of excuses as to why he

up with lame reasons for rejecting God's Call on their
lives. Moses uses five; let's examine each of them. After
investigating the bush, he hears God's Call on his life.
Excuse number one is his qualifications (Exodus 3:11
