“Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.” Exo 4:12

Ever gone and felt pretty sure you left Jesus behind by knowing what came out of your mouth was not being taught in Christian Speech 101!   Here we see Moses struggling in his service for which God had called him, even to a fault; we can no longer impute it to his humility, now it’s grown to cowardice, slothfulness, and unbelief in it.  This single obstacle, fear of not knowing when or how to speak, is likewise a cowardice response for Christians to speak for God, and endeavour to excuse themselves.  Even Paul’s speech was contemptible (2 Cor 10:10). Nor can one blame it on being ignorant and unlearned, Jesus used unlearned and ignorant men to turn the world upside down (Acts 4:13). Jesus told the disciples “take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.” (Mt 10; Mk 13)  The answer is the same giving to Moses and the disciples, I’ll be with you: Acts 4:13b “...they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”  God told Moses, go I’ll be with thy mouth.  It’s interesting Christians claim they don’t know what to say to others, but they have a lot to say about others.  You don’t have to speak a doctrine, just let your words be that “one may edify another.” (Rom 14:19)

The results of our mouth would be a lot better if we spent more time talking to others instead about others!
