Our question for today comes from Exodus 4:1:
“What if they do not believe me or listen to me?”
In today’s question, we see that even the great Moses wrestled with insecurity. God told him to go to Pharaoh and confront him, but Moses was human—and humans doubt. Even he questioned his own ability.
One fellow once said, “I’m not insecure; I just care a lot about what people who don’t know me think.” That sounds like Moses. He had a case of the “what if they won’t listen.” Eventually, he even asked God to send someone else.
Insecurity is loud. Sometimes, even louder than God’s voice. Moses wanted proof before he obeyed. He wanted assurance before he moved. So God gave him signs—but more than that, He gave Moses His presence. And that’s what we need most, isn’t it? Not just a miracle, but the God of miracles walking with us.
When we ask, “What if they don’t believe me?” God responds, “I’ll be with you.” Let your confidence rest, not in applause or approval, but in the quiet certainty that God stands beside you.
