God Prepares Moses "And Moses saM unto God. Be- hold, when I come unto the chil- dren of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath gent me unto you; and they hal! jay to me. What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14. "And God said moreover unto THAT ! AM: and he said. Thus shalt un.ii say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." When Moses asks God for a spetia: revelation of His name. that h* might assure the Israel- ites he had come to them under a divine commission. God told him that His name was I AM THAT I AM. H could now say. He in whose r.ame I come is abont to realize ihe promise of the land of Canaan the. seed of Abraham. God's Name Forever "And God said moreover unto Moses.. Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this Is my name for ever, and fhis U my memorial un- to ail generations." This state- ment contains a very important truth a truth which many profes- sing Christians seem to forget, name'y. that God's relationship with Israel is an eternal one. He doe^ KOI say. 'This is my name for a time, so long as they con- tinue what they ought to be.' No; 'this IF my name forever, and this 1* my memorial unto all gener- ation?.' "Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jelionah. the God of your fathers, the <;<-< of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, sayinjr I have surely visited you, and -*-fn that which is done to you in Egypt." Here Is a definite promise on the part of God that Ht will surely deliver His people out of the affliction of Egypt, and will brinit them 'into a land flow- Ing with milk ami honey.' God's Answer "And Moses .aid unto Jehovah. Oh. Lord. I am not eloquent, neith- er heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: for I am >!ow of speech, and of .1 slow tongue. And Jehovah said unto him. who hath ra.ide man's mouth? or who raaketh a man dumb, or deaf in- seelns. or blind? is it not I, Jehovah? Now therefore RO. and I will b with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt speak." The work had nothing whatever to do with the eloquence or in- eloquence of Moses. It was not to be measured or determined by his persona! gifts. The moment, there- fore, that he turned to his individ- ual talents, he lost sight of the great end which he was called in- strumentally to accomplish. "And he said. Oh, Lord, send. I pray thee, by the- hand of him whom thou wilt send." This is a curt impatient, and scarcely rever- ent speech. Moses means that he will undertake th* task If God In- sists; hut that God would do far better to send another. Moses' Commission "And the anser of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said. Is there not Aaron thy broth- er the Levlte? I know that h can speak well. And also, behold. h coraetli forth to meet thee: and when he seetti thoe. he will be glad in his heart. And thou shalt speak unto him, an<l put the words In his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his moutli, and will teach you what ye shall do. And he shall be thy spokesman unto r.he people: and it shall come to lias?, that he. shall be to thee a mouth, and thou. shalt be to him as C.od. And thou shalt take thy hand this rod, wherewith thou shalt do the signs." The word here trans- lated anger is (lie Scripture phra appropriate for description of God's feoling toward Idolatry (Kxod. 25 >. Perhaps Moses here betrays an inward fear of Egypt's heathenism, as well as lack of frank ardor or readiness for battle with it. Aaron is here mentioned tor the first time. Three years older than Mose-a (Kxod. ^ : 1), he stems to have been all this time in xood standing in Egypt. In Aaron we nftver see. real great- ness ; in Moses when once he Is under way. we never see little- ness." Well United la It when the soul crl with ths great apostle: 'We are not sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves ' But we must beware, for there la a hidden lin over which self-dis- trust may not pass, lest It become unbelief. Cherish the lowliest thought you choose of yourself. but unite it with the loftleatx con- ception of Qod's all sufficiency. SOUP HOUND Assigned to the galley of a U. S. minesweeper at San Diego, nine-weeks-old Scuttlebutt is both mascot and ship's cook 2nd class for his shipmates. Self -depreciation may lead to thei marring of a useful life. We must think soberly of ourselves, not too lowly, as not too extravagantly. The one talent must not be burled in the earth. It would seem as though in every step of the way at this time in Moses' life, lid needed reassurance) from God that he cannot turn back and fail to achieve the great task which God now was ready to have) accomplished. So the Lord spoke) to him once again, telling him not to hesitate to go back to Egypt, for all the men wer dead who had sought hi) life. Moses, when h went down to Egypt, should do all those things which the Lord had told him to do and not Just simply to arrive there ai the place to which God had seat him, but also to do that for which he was sent.
