I WILL TEACH YOU
Diffidence and Fear fill Moses’ mind;
He felt that he was caught in a bind.
He had never been eloquent in speech;
Speaking for the Lord was out of reach!
“I will teach you,” was God’s commitment;
He will not send a servant without equipment.
He will give the words that need to be said;
Fear must not get into the heart and head.
Moses learned to listen and to contemplate;
Spending time in prayer, he did not hesitate.
God had many commandments to be given;
Each word had to be carefully discerned.
Over time, Moses became a skilled teacher;
He had become a most effective speaker.
His teaching was like the refreshing rain;
His words were like a wonderful refrain.
Exodus 4; Deuteronomy 32
