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?
Who do you need to speak to today? What do you need to say?
