Exodus 3: 11: "But Moses said to God, 'Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?" Moses must have really not wanted this job! He is arguing with a burning bush that has a voice coming from it. God chooses people for different tasks in the kingdom. This is called election. God chooses who He chooses and passes by those He doesn't choose. If you have been called to a certain job, you should take comfort in that no matter how things look or what the circumstances seem to indicate, who God chooses will be successful. Some people are offended by the doctrine of election. However, offended or not, election is clearly in the Bible. Jesus Himself said, "You did not choose me, but I have chosen you...." (John 15:16) If you know that you are doing what you have been called to do, you can face any obstacle no matter how difficult. If you are not sure what your calling is, go look for a talking bush.
