A Message to a King
How do you stand before the most powerful ruler on earth and tell him that a God he has never heard of has sent you with a non-negotiable command?
What words do you use when your message demands that he give up control, lose his workforce, and bow before an authority greater than himself?
And how do you speak in such a way that your life is not immediately ended before the words even leave your lips?
Moshe had spent the last 40 years speaking only to sheep and the occasional Midianite shepherd.
- His last attempt to deal with an Egyptian had ended in bloodshed.
- His last encounter with his own people had resulted in rejection.
And now, he is called to deliver a message that defies all human wisdom.
There is no manual for this kind of conversation.
No persuasive speech techniques that could accomplish this task.
No earthly words that could break through the hardened heart of Pharaoh.
This moment required words that carried the weight of God’s glory.
When Human Words Are Not Enough
Most of us will never stand face to face with a pharaoh, king, president, or warlord to deliver a message from the Almighty.
But every one of us will encounter moments where human wisdom, logic, and persuasion fail.
We will stand before:
- Hardened hearts, resistant to change.
- Wounded souls, drowning in pain and bitterness.
- Closed minds, unwilling to hear truth.
- Impossible situations, where human words fall powerless to bring life.
What will we say then?
The good news is that God has never relied on human wisdom.
He has never needed persuasive speeches or clever arguments.
He is the Master Wordsmith.
With a single word, He created the heavens.
With a single sentence, He set the stars in motion.
And He still speaks today—through those who are willing to surrender their words to Him.
The Power of Words That Carry His Glory
The Holy One is ready to:
- Fill our mouths with words of divine wisdom.
- Remove from us the empty words of human philosophy, debate, and religion.
- Teach us to speak only what He gives us to speak.
But there is one condition—our surrender.
Moshe had to surrender his fear, his excuses, and his past failures.
We must surrender our opinions, our logic, and our reliance on human wisdom.
Only then can we carry words that bear the weight of His glory.
Prayer:
I offer You my tongue, my mouth, and my voice.
Remove from me all idle words, opinions, and empty religion.
Fill my mouth with words that carry the weight of Your glory.

E. Tell the King:
ALL-WISE KING!
TEACH ME TO SPEAK ONLY WHAT YOU GIVE ME TO SPEAK—AND TO SPEAK ALL THAT YOU GIVE ME.
REMOVE FROM ME the wisdom of men, the reasoning of the flesh, and the lifeless words of religion.
FILL MY MOUTH with words that bear the weight of Your glory.
Final Thoughts:
Words that carry the weight of His glory are not words we create.
They are words He places in our mouths.
The question is: Are we willing to surrender our voices to Him?
May we all learn to speak only what He gives us to speak—and nothing less.
