Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Exodus 32

Highlight Verse:

“Aaron saw how excited the people were, so he built an altar in front of the calf. Then he announced, “Tomorrow will be a festival to the Lord!””
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭32‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When God called Moses to lead His people out of Egypt and then brought in Aaron to be the mouthpiece of Moses, who couldn’t speak well, you might have wondered, “Why didn’t God just have Aaron lead the people out of Egypt?”

This verse makes the answer to that question quite clear.

Moses was committed to pleasing God.

Aaron was committed to pleasing people.

It makes sense that God was far more interested in using the person who was dedicated to Him, even if that person lacked all the talent needed for the job.

If you are truly interested in pleasing God, I wouldn’t worry about your talent (or lack thereof). If you are willing to serve, God will provide the talent, whether in yourself or someone else to help you.

Have you witnessed God use you or someone around you in a way that went beyond your/their talents? Share it!
Are you willing to step out in faith and follow God’s leading, even in areas that are not your strong suit?
