The Prince of Egypt: Who Am I to Go to Pharaoh? (Exodus 3:11-12)

Source: ChurchWiseAI115 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Moses stands before the burning bush, and God commissions him to confront Pharaoh. His response echoes across millennia: Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh? The Prince of Egypt captures Moses' internal struggle—raised as Egyptian royalty, now a fugitive shepherd, neither fully Hebrew nor Egyptian. His stammering protest is not false humility but genuine terror at inadequacy. God does not argue with Moses' self-assessment. He simply says: I will be with you. The call does not come because we are qualified; the qualification comes because we are called. Moses' weakness becomes the canvas on which God paints deliverance. Every leader who has trembled before an impossible task stands with Moses at the bush.
