You know that feeling when you're pretty sure you're the wrong person for the job? That was Moses. He was rescued as a baby, grew up in Pharaoh's own palace, and then — of all people — God called him to lead an entire nation out of slavery and all the way to the Promised Land, Ten Commandments included.
Big idea: God can use anyone — even someone who feels totally unsure of themselves — to do something amazing.
