God's Servants Report God's Words
Exodus 3:13
And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you…


Words spoken on your own account, without reference to your Lord, will fall to the ground. When the footman goes to the door to answer a caller, he asks his master what he has to say, and he repeats what his master tells him. You and I are waiting-servants in the house of God, and we are to report what our God would have us speak. The Lord gives the soul-saving message, and clothes it with power: He gives it to a certain order of people, and under certain conditions.

( C. H. Spurgeon.)
