"Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" God said, "I will be with you.""
— Êxodo 3:11-12
Monday. The start of a new week brings with it that familiar feeling: responsibility knocks at the door, tasks pile up, and that silent question emerges that many of us carry: "Will I be capable?" Perhaps you stand before a new project, a professional challenge, or simply feel the weight of the ordinary. In this moment, the story of Moses speaks to us with an intimacy that perhaps no other biblical account could achieve.
Moses was an ordinary man. Raised in Egyptian palaces, fleeing from his past, hidden in the desert caring for sheep. When God called him to liberate an entire nation, his first response was the same one many of us would have: "Who am I?" It wasn't false humility. It was genuine insecurity. He looked at himself and saw only a weak man, unworthy, inadequate. But God did not respond by discussing Moses' qualities. He responded with a promise that would change everything: "I will be with you."
This is the turning point we need to understand today. Your purpose does not rest on who you are, but on Who is with you. God does not choose the strongest, the most prepared, or the most confident. He chooses those who will understand that their sufficiency comes from Him. When you feel small before the week that is beginning, when you look at your limitations and question your capacity, you are exactly in the place where God can work best. It is not about your strength. It is about His presence.
Consider what Moses would face: confrontation with the most powerful man of that time, leadership of an entire people, crossing a desert. From a human perspective, it was impossible. But not with God. Throughout that entire journey, God was with Moses—not as an abstract idea, but as a tangible presence, guiding, sustaining, empowering. When you embrace this same principle for your life today, you are no longer alone in your challenges. The God who performed miracles is with you too.
Enter this week not focusing on the size of your problems or the vastness of your responsibilities. Enter focusing on the deeper reality: God is with you. That verse Moses heard was not just a promise for him; it was a universal truth that echoes through the centuries to your ears today. You have a purpose that God planted in you. And He will never leave you to face it alone.
