MEDITATION
Exodus 4:10-12
10 Then Moses said to the LORD, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

12 Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.”

沉思
《出埃及记 4：10-12》
10 摩西对耶和华说：“主啊，我素日不是能言的人，就是从你对仆人说话以后，也是这样。我本是拙口笨舌的。”
11 耶和华对他说：“谁造人的口呢？谁使人口哑、耳聋、目明、眼瞎呢？岂不是我耶和华吗？12 现在去吧，我必赐你口才，指教你所当说的话。”
