Moses and God continue to dialogue about the call for Moses to deliver God's people. Moses is doubtful: "No one will listen to me. I can't speak well enough. Send someone else!" In this passage, we see how God meets his doubting servants with patience and grace, showing that it is his power, not ours, that accomplishes his mission.
