Spiritual comparison + being equipped for ministry

as I was reading my Bible today I kept finding myself getting distracted. at one point, as I was scrolling through Instagram, I started to compare my spiritual worth to all the people I saw on my feed. I had to stop and ask the Lord to set my mind and heart on Him instead of how I compare to the people I see online. I asked Him to help me find my worth in Him alone and set my focus on becoming more like Jesus. not even a minute later I reached this passage:

“Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.’

The Lord said to him, ‘Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.’”

Exodus 4:10-12

reading through these verses all I could do was smile because how precious is it that just seconds after pouring my heart out to God He gave me exactly what I needed? I’ve read this story before, but the message stuck with me in a new way this time. in the moments where we feel like we don’t have the words, He is there right alongside us to teach us what to say!
