11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Summary: Exodus 3:11-15 — God assured Moses of His presence and revealed His holy name and enduring identity.

Moses met God in a burning bush, and that encounter turned a hidden shepherd into a deliverer (Exodus 3). God revealed His eternal nature with the name Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (אֶֽהְיֶ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶֽהְיֶ֑ה), meaning I AM WHO I AM. Moses teaches that being All In starts with knowing who God is. When you know God as I AM, you stop living as “I can’t.”

First, Moses shows us surrender beyond insecurity. He questioned his ability, but God focused on His presence (Exodus 3:11–12). This teaches that calling is not about your talent. It is about God’s power. Second Corinthians 12:9 tells us God’s strength is made perfect in weakness. Moses proves it.

Second, Moses shows us leadership shaped by intercession and discipleship. He prayed for Israel taught them God’s ways and carried them through wilderness seasons (Exodus 32:11–14). This is spiritual parenting. It is guiding people from bondage into maturity. That is what a family of faith needs, not just excitement but formation.

Third, Moses shows us stewardship through order and shared leadership. He learned to appoint leaders and organize the people wisely (Exodus 18:17–23). This is Kingdom wisdom. It teaches that doing God’s work God’s way includes structure, delegation, and accountability.

Moses reminds us that God calls people higher so He can free others through them. During this fast, ask God to deepen your surrender, strengthen your intercession, and increase your wisdom so your life helps build the Kingdom.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for Moses’ encounter with Your presence. Help me trust that Your I AM is greater than my limitations. Strengthen me to say yes to Your calling and to walk in humble obedience. Lord, teach me to pray faithfully, serve wisely, and steward responsibilities with excellence. Use my life to strengthen others and advance Your Kingdom. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Reflective Questions:

1. What insecurity is God asking me to surrender so I can obey Him fully?

2. What is one way I can grow in intercession or wise stewardship during this fast?
