What do you need to say?

They say Moses was a basket case. (Sorry.) Poor guy did NOT want to have to speak for God. Listen to some of his excuses. Sound familiar?

Moses raised another objection to God: "Master, please, I don't talk well. I've never been good with words, neither before nor after you spoke to me. I stutter and stammer." God said, "And who do you think made the human mouth? And who makes some mute, some deaf, some sighted, some blind? Isn't it I, God? So, get going. I'll be right there with you—with your mouth! I'll be right there to teach you what to say." (Exodus 4, The Message)

What kind of excuses do we give to justify our silence when words need to be spoken? Words of encouragement perhaps? Maybe, even more difficult,: words of loving rebuke or challenge?
