Exodus 3:9-12

“And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.  Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”  But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

Be looking for ways to be part of the answer to your prayers!

Moses was deeply concerned for the plight of his people in Egypt. He'd been chased out of Egypt for standing up for them. He must have been so glad to hear God say that he was going to respond to the prayers of his people.

But it caught Moses by surprise when God told Moses he'd be a key player in the process. It's one thing to be concerned and pray for someone from outside their circumstances; it's another thing altogether to get involved in those circumstances as part of the answer.

When you pray, God wants you to have an attitude of availability if he calls you to get involved.
