Leaders Are Men Who Can Overcome
Handicaps, Story OF Moses Teaches
Text: Exodus 3:13-16, 4:1O-17

which he holds to his purpose which
makes him effective in achievement
Moses ad an assurance that the
Lord would go with him and would
teach him what he should speak
but he was still hesitant and doubt
ful-sO doubtful that "the anger of
Jehovah was kindied against him. u
However, the Lord is long suffering
and kind and to Moses with his
consciousness Of siowness II speech
he gave the help and companion
ship of his brother Aaron, Aaron
was to be the spokesman but Moses
was to supply the real words and
the spirit of the utterance.
None of us would get very far
in leadership if we allowed our
selves to be discouraged by the
difficulties or by our sense of our
weaknesses and our shortcomings.
No man who finds a really great
task could go to it in his own
strength. Inevitably a consciousness
of his inadequacy must affect him.
Moreover, II he be too easily salts
fled with himself or his work it is
full evidence, in whatever field he is
laboring, he is not great artist
or great soldier, or a great saint,
Humility is the direct mark of
greatness, and it is true today as
of old that God helps the humble.
One recalls Paul's similar sense
Of weakness and inadequacy when
he was called to a great task. He
evidently had some physical infirm-
ity which discouraged him. just as
Moses was discouraged by his slow
ness Of speech. But a Paul's prayer
that the thorn IN the flesh would be
removed came the Lords voice say
ing, my grace Is sufficient for three,
for my strength Is made perfect in
weakness"
