ARGUED
Today's reading: Exodus 4-6

"This is the same Moses who had argued with the Lord, saying, I can't do it! I'm no orator. Why should Pharoah listen to me?" Exodus 6:30 NLT

Argue-to give reasons for or against something; to contend or disagree with words; to dispute; to attempt to persuade.

Of all the things you'd like to be known about you, would you ever choose to be known as the one who argued with God?

Argued. With. God.

Being one who questioned Him? Who disagreed with Him? Who thought they knew better than He did? One who thought they had better intel, a better grasp of the circumstance, more knowledge?

It's laughable, almost.

Because that's what arguing is about isn't it, knowing more or knowing better than another?

I don't know what it is God is calling you to do, but can I say this--Just do it.

He knows more about the situation than you ever could. He knows more about what you are capable of doing with Him working through you than you ever will. He knows the outcome of what He's asking, who will be impacted, how His kingdom will be touched by your obedience.

Or you can argue with Him. Tell Him no. Give Him a list of better candidates. Present to Him why you cannot, should not--or will not.

Maybe you would never argue with Him out loud. Maybe never putting your reasons, rebuttals or refusal in words, but arguing with Him none the less.

What do you want to be known for?
