Give God Your All

When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
And Moses said, “Here I am.”  Exodus 3

Moses jumped ahead of himself just a little bit.  I find this interesting because the first time he speaks to God, he's volunteering himself.  "Here I am."  In the next chapter Moses explains he's slow of speech.  Now, I've heard this interpreted as a speech impediment and as someone being a slow thinker.  Either way, he doesn't seem slow (in either respect) the first time he speaks.

What happens in the middle?  Backpedaling.  Lots of backpedaling.

Do you ever volunteer for something before knowing everything that will be asked of you?  Sure, you might do it here and there, but with God, it's something different.  We're called on to trust him.  He asks a lot of us, but it's all for a reason.  Sometimes he doesn't give us the entire reason when he calls on us.  Once we agree to follow God, there's no amount of reasons or excuses that will get release us from our promise.  So when you jump in with both feet, be prepared to swim.
