Moses said to God, “Who am I to go to Pharoah and bring the people of Israel out of Egypt? (Exodus 3:11). The Lord answers, “I shall be with you.” That’s all. Simply, I’ll be with you!

He wouldn’t tell Moses how to do it. He doesn’t give him a timetable, any directions, simply—”I’ll be with you (3:12). Moses’ power is the presence of the Lord. That’s all!

In every religious experience in the Bible, a person comes to an experience of God and God says, simply, I shall be with you. I will do it. Trust me. The directions come as you walk the journey. The word is not fully given until the first steps are taken.
