Directions for the Road Ahead
by Max Lucado The key question in life is not "How strong am I?" but rather "How strong is God?" Focus on his strength, not yours. Occupy yourself with the nature of God, not the size of your biceps. That's what God told Moses to do. Remember the conversation at the burning bush? The tone was set in the first sentence. "Take off your sandals because you are standing on holy ground" (Exodus 3:5). With these eleven words Moses is enrolled in a class on God. Immediately the roles are defined. God is holy. Approaching him on even a quarter-inch of leather is too pompous… No time is spent convincing Moses what Moses can do, but much time is spent explaining to Moses what God can do. You and I tend to do the opposite. We would explain to Moses how he is ideally suited to return to Egypt~ Then we'd remind Moses how perfect he is for wilderness travel~ We'd spend time reviewing with Moses his résumé and strengths. Great House of GodBut God doesn't. The strength of Moses is never considered. No pep talk is given, no pats on the backs are offered. Not one word is spoken to recruit Moses. But many words are used to reveal God. The strength of Moses is not the issue; the strength of God is. From Let the Journey Begin:
