The Meekest Man(4)
Moses had two kinds of excuses here. The first was that he was not eloquent and was slow
of speech. The second was that even after he talked with God that day, he still could not
speak. He had completely denied himself befDre God. He reckoned that nothing of himself
could stand before God. He had already learned a deep lesson. In those forty years, he
left behind everything that was natural and of the self...Nevertheless, it is of no
benefit to merely realize that we are incapable in ourselves. The most important thing is
to know the power of God. This is resurrection... Moses not
only wanted to hide himselfi but he had become sluggish. He even thought that it was
better for God not to send him. Brothers, it is good that we realize our own weakness. But
if our weakness takes away our faith in God's strengthening, this llnowledge of ourselves
is harmful. Excessive consideration of our weakness is as likely to take us away from our
trust in God as excessive consideration of our power, Many retreats and withdrawals are
not signs of spiritual humility, but are timidity and laziness caused by our
introspection. W8 must be strengthened by His power on the positive side to become strong.
