“But Moses said, ‘O Lord, please send someone else to do it’. Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses” (Exodus 4:13-14a).

When God revealed to Moses what His plan was for delivering Israel from bondage in Egypt, Moses began a series of arguments as to why he was not the right person. When Moses ran out of arguments, he turned to a plea: “Please send someone else to do it“. That is the typical response of mankind. Please send someone else.

But passing the buck is what angers God. To know what God wills and not be a partner in His will is rebellion. We are His workmanship, His craftsmanship. He has developed us through all we’ve been through for such a time as this. For us to rebel against Him when He needs our action is bad news. God only works through His body, the church.

Centuries later, God revealed Himself to another man, Isaiah, who replied, “Here am I, Lord, send me” (Isaiah 6:8).
