The text of Scripture before us is a testimony to the fact that God can bypass our infirmities and achieve extraordinary results through us. Moses was a stutterer. As a matter of fact his speech impediment was one of the objections he raised when God wanted to send him to Egypt for the deliverance of the Israelites. God worked around the problem and goaded him on to take the job. It is therefore almost ironical that our passage described the same Moses as being “mighty in words and deeds”. It is easy to accept that he was mighty in deeds. Talk about all the miracles that happened by him! To say that he was mighty in words will require some explanation.
“The good thing about God finding ability in our disability is that it removes occasion for boasting. When great things happen despite our weaknesses, we are bound to give God the glory.”
What to make out of this is that the power of a word has nothing to do with the eloquence of the speaker but the effect on the recipients. Moses’ words certainly had effect. All the words that he spoke before Pharaoh had powerful effects, so much so that the children of Israel were released from bondage. The lesson again is this: If God could bypass this man’s natural disability and used him greatly; He can find strength in your weakness as well. The good thing about God finding ability in our disability is that it removes occasion for boasting. When great things happen despite our weaknesses, we are bound to give God the glory.
