Aaron of our life


Is there any time in life when we feel like giving up? When we fed up of many things around us? Time when we lost almost all of our confidence to move on? I'm sure there is..

There must be time when we feel everything is not as we have wished for...Surely, if God asks us to do something during that trying moment, we will certainly try not to say yes to God. We will try our best to negotiate even though we know God is able to do whatever He wants to do. At that time, we will be the best person in reasoning.

Just like Moses when God first called him and told him to go and speak to the people of Israel. He tries his best to reason with God. He reasons about what to tell them if the ask about God's name, what if the do not believe that Moses has really seen God. God gives him answers to all his questions even shows him signs that He is really a true God. But even with all that signs and assurances, Moses still not willing to do it. Because he acknowledges God power and strength, he use his own weaknesses to reason with God. "I am not good in talking. I am slow of tongue". Very good argument but what God said in response?..."Who has made man's mouth?"...Reading the Book of Exodus up to this point, I am expecting God to use His power to transform Moses into someone who has the ability to speak with authority. But He does not do that. Maybe Moses was expecting the same or perhaps he was expecting God to give him task that will not involve talking. But God is beyond man's expectation. Far beyond. Indeed, He put Aaron in the picture. Moses and Aaron will compliment each other. Moses does the talking with God, Aaron does the talking with the people of Israel.

When we feel lost, when we feel defeated, when we feel we are full of shortcomings to be able to do that job, talk to God. Speak out our inabilities to Him and He will provide 'Aarons' for us.....
