A friend told me about Moses, and I was intrigued. Somehow I’d never before heard Moses described as a stutterer. "Lord, where does Your Bible talk about this?” Months passed after my initial prayer, and actually my focus faded a bit. Here now this week in the midst of reading a Jennifer Rothschild book, I stared at Exodus 4:10, in which Moses describes himself as “slow of speech and tongue.” This could be it! This could be why some people say he stuttered! As my adrenaline raced, I came quite close to turning a cartwheel. The Lord answered the prayer of an ordinary girl wanting to learn. That’s important because I remember a high school geometry teacher in whose class I felt forever lost and increasingly disinterested. Yet with Jesus, He knows how to reach us, and He saves the lost. We have a Teacher who inspires our love for learning by answering questions we forgot we even asked. And I saw again how often His blessings come when my Bible is open.
