Why Me?

(From my Bring One to Christ post of May 26, 2010)

“Why me?” is a question that has been asked since the beginning of time. Moses, one of the best known characters of the Bible, asked this very question to God. When God chose him to be the one to deliver the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses’ response was exactly the “Why me?” question. Not only did he ask that question but also went on to tell God why it should not be him. In Exodus 4:10 Moses tells God how he is not eloquent, and slow in speech and tongue. And in Exodus 4:13 Moses pleads with God saying “O Lord, please send someone else to do it.”

It is probably during these “Why me?” moments in our lives that our Lord is preparing us to do something great, to make a change or to reach a higher place. Moses could not fathom the idea that anyone would pay any attention to him let alone take him seriously and let him leave Egypt with the Israelites. Yet, he was able to do it. If you are going through a difficult situation or if God is calling you to do something don’t ask yourself “Why me?” ask yourself “Why Not Me??” Because you see, when God call us to a task, he will give us the means and ability to fulfill it.
