Exodus 3:11 But Moses asked God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"God commisions Moses to a specific mission. Moses' response is a questioning of himself and his own abilities. "Who am I?" Moses asks of Himself. I think it is no coincidence that as Moses questions his own identity, God's identity seems to be a response to Moses' questions. Moses' question of "Who am I?" is answered by who God is. Moses asks "Who am I?" and God soon after says "I AM." Our questions of "Am I good enough? Am I smart enough, am I well-spoken enough?" are all answered in God's goodness, God's intelligence and God's power to speak. When we question ourselves, God is there to say "you don't have to do it alone."
After Moses' asks for God's name 3:14 God replied to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.'
2 Tim. 1:7 "For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
