Moses Was Afraid
"But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?""Exodus 3:11
Reflection
Moses gave several excuses and God answered each one patiently. God does not get annoyed with someone who is afraid: He walks with them.
Prayer
Father, when I feel small, remind me that You come along. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What excuses did Moses give God?
- How did God answer him?
- What excuse do you sometimes give?
5-minute activity
Read Moses' excuses aloud, and for each one the child reads God's answer. Then each person writes one of their own excuses and an answer God might give. Read Exodus 3:10-12 and 4:10-12.
