You Are More Than Just
You Are More Than “JUST”
Exodus 4:10 says Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”
(In 2021) I was given the word “Just.” Now not in the way you think like just as in being trustworthy, true, or honorable but the total opposite. If you review a few antonyms for just you will find words like inequitable, unfitting, and unsuited. If you dig deeper unsuited means “not right or appropriate, not suited for the job.”
Let us think more about the phrase “not suited.” Did Moses think he was suited for the job even though God was with him? How many times do we feel “not suited” for situations we are asked to participate in or lead? Situations we know deep in our spirit we should be involved in but too afraid to try because we believe we are just not suited.
How many times have you said, “Well I can’t because I JUST started?” I am unable because I just don’t have the abilities like the previous leader. I won’t get the job because I only have an Associate’s degree. I would help but I’m just not the right person. I want to help but I just know they can do it better.
Unfortunately, I have walked in a mindset of just. A mindset of disbelief that everything about me is not enough. Not enough to do my job, not enough to raise my daughters, and not enough to become an author. Because I felt I was just not enough.
Sometimes this is my default to walk in a “just” aka “limiting” posture. I’ve said silently or out loud God I would, but I just don’t have enough experience. Father, I tried but I am just one person. Lord, I believe you but if you could just send someone else. When I choose to display the just attitude then I am limiting the Father instead of unleashing His Power!
Remember Moses comment “Lord I have never been eloquent.” Where did Moses obtain this belief from? Who told Moses he wasn’t eloquent? It certainly was not the Father because the Lord reminded Moses “who made his mouth and that he would help him speak and teach him what to say.”
My sisters and brothers,
The Word of God does not say we are just human beings. The Word of God says we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are more than conquerors. We can do all things through Christ. Nowhere in these scriptures does God call us “not right, not appropriate and unsuited.” He calls us His craftsmanship. He says we are made in His image. And nothing and I mean nothing “can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
