"Apologizing to God."

with contributions from H. W.

"When Moses received his commission to become the leader of his people he attempted to excuse himself, saying: 'Lord!

I am not eloquent, for I am slow of speech.' A divine commission is laid upon us, and we make the same evasions. We are asked to champion a righteous cause; to speak a word for truth, freedom, justice.

"We begin by stammering excuses for evading duty. We are called upon to do God's work, and we try to evade it. God's work is man's work divinely done. All honest work is God's work. If God waited for perfect men to do His work, mighty little of it would be done. It is the glory of God that He can take such poor stuff as we and do such wonderful work with it. And He could not do it unless there was something great beneath our apparent littleness.
