Heavenly Father, how often I get distracted by what the world says I am and I don’t listen to who You say I am.  Forgive me Father when I listen to people instead of You.  Sometimes it seems the voices of those who don’t even know me are so loud I can’t seem to hear Your voice.  You, who knows me better than I know myself.  Help me to hear You and Your truth and shut out the noise of the world.  Help me see myself as You see me.  A forgiven sinner, who receives my gifts from You.  You alone are worthy to guide me.  Help me remember that Yours is the only voice that matters.

In Jesus’ name.

Amen!     

This passage shares the names of the tribes of Israel and concludes with God speaking once again to Moses telling him to approach Pharaoh with God’s words. 

Moses feels unworthy and unclean stating he is uncircumcised and doubting that Pharaoh will listen to him. 

This is a perfect example of how God uses those who love Him regardless of their cleanliness, background, parents, thoughts of worth, education, wealth, lack of wealth or status, etc. 

Once again, God does not call us to be perfect to be used for His Kingdom.  He only calls us to be obedient.  Just as God equipped Moses, He will also equip us when He calls us. 

What is God calling you to do for Kingdom purposes?

 

Exodus 6:14-30

¹⁴ These are the heads of their fathers' houses: the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the clans of Reuben. ¹⁵ The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the clans of Simeon. ¹⁶ These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, the years of the life of Levi being 137 years. ¹⁷ The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, by their clans. ¹⁸ The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, the years of the life of Kohath being 133 years. ¹⁹ The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Levites according to their generations. ²⁰ Amram took as his wife Jochebed his father's sister, and she bore him Aaron and Moses, the years of the life of Amram being 137 years. ²¹ The sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. ²² The sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan , and Sithri. ²³ Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab and the sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ²⁴ The sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the clans of the Korahites. ²⁵ Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites by their clans.

²⁶ These are the Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said: “Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt by their hosts.” ²⁷ It was they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the people of Israel from Egypt, this Moses and this Aaron.

²⁸ On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, ²⁹ the Lord said to Moses, “I am the Lord; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” ³⁰ But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”
