Not Eloquent, Why?

“And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?” | Exodus 4: 10-11

The LORD made Moses slow of speech.

Think of all God had given Moses since birth: he delivered Moses out of the river, raised Moses in Pharaoh’s house, directed his steps to where he was now, and gave him all these sure promises.

The LORD could have given Moses eloquence but he did not. Why?

The glory in delivering his people is the Lord’s. “This is the word of the LORD… Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Zechariah 4: 6)

The Eternal Christ

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” | John 1: 1

John calls our Lord Jesus Christ “the Word.”

This is a term used in the New Testament almost exclusively by John, identifying Christ as one who is God, and yet a distinct Person from the Father.

I can think of only two places in which other inspired writers used this term in the New Testament with reference to our Savior.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” (Hebrews 4: 12-13)

“For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:” (2 Peter 3: 5)

Our light the Lord Jesus Christ shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehends Him not.

My Hope Is In Thee

”Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” | Psalm 119: 105

I count it my honor and happiness that I preach to a free people who have the Bible in their hands.

To your Bibles I appeal.

I entreat, I charge you to receive nothing upon my word any farther than I can prove it from the Word of God.

And bring every preacher and every sermon that you hear to the same standard.

God’s Word Shall Lead You

”When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.” | Proverbs 6: 22

These are the words of a father and mother to their children concerning the written Word of God.

This parent, a believer in Christ, is persuaded of the ability of God’s Word, with His blessing to lead, keep, and talk. They would impress this upon their children.

God’s Word shall lead you.

It will LEAD you out of the way “which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” The way of works religion seems right, but man’s works being imperfect will always end in death.

The Word shall lead you to the way, the Lord Jesus Christ that is also the truth and the life, the only way to God.

It shall KEEP you when you sleep. The believer in Christ being reconciled through Him to God is able to lay down and sleep in peace. “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4: 8)

It will also TALK to you. God’s word speaks to us as we read and hear it. I don’t know how many times I have been told after a service something to this effect. “God answered my question in your message,” or “You dealt with something in your message that has troubled me.”

I brought a message recently from Proverbs, and could not help but think after the message, “I wish that all of our young families with children had heard this message.” It seemed to me such a shame that they missed it.

Every service that a person misses he cheats himself of necessary food.

He misses that opportunity of hearing God speak to him from that passage.
