Exo 6:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12 : Moses objects, feeling discouraged. He says that the Israelites have not listened to him, so he doubts that Pharaoh will listen either. Moses also calls himself “of uncircumcised lips,” meaning he feels he cannot speak well. This shows Moses’ lack of confidence. But God has already assured Moses that He will help him speak, and Moses should not give up. Even when we feel weak or unprepared, God’s strength can support us ( v. 12; v. 30 ).

‏ Exodus 6:12

v. 12: Moses objects, feeling discouraged. He says that the Israelites have not listened to him, so he doubts that Pharaoh will listen either. Moses also calls himself “of uncircumcised lips,” meaning he feels he cannot speak well. This shows Moses’ lack of confidence. But God has already assured Moses that He will help him speak, and Moses should not give up. Even when we feel weak or unprepared, God’s strength can support us (v. 12; v. 30 ^a).
