"Moses said... I am not eloquent... And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth?... Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say" (Exodus 4:10-12). "Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help... which made heaven and earth" (Ps 146:5). "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts" (Proverbs 21:2). "But I fear, lest... your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3).
Though
Moses had no eloquence,
That
wasn't what the Lord had sought.
What
mattered was obedience;
A
heart submissive could be taught.
How
simple is this one condition
(Though
we invent a complication):
To
give our heart in full submission
To
God, the Lord of all creation.
Excuses
may seem justified
(At
least they do in our own eyes),
But
they are only masking pride
Which,
in God's sight, is never wise.
O
Lord, we find simplicity
In
our submission now to You.
Let
all our vain excuses flee
Which
complicate what we should do.
