Exodus 3:11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 12 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” 13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” 14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

Hesitation can be a good thing and a bad thing. When we hesitate to confirm God’s instructions, that’s a good thing. We’re simply making sure that it’s God telling us to do a certain thing and not our flesh.

The majority of our hesitation is negative. Hesitation is a bad thing when it’s laced with fear. When we hesitate because we feel like the God-given assignment is too difficult or too big, that’s when it becomes a bad thing. It’s a bad thing due to a lack of belief. We don’t believe in the ability God has given to us. We don’t believe it’s going to work out the way He said. We don’t believe in ourselves.

Hesitation also disrupts the timing of God. When we hesitate, we delay God’s ability to operate in someone else’s life and we delay the blessings in our own lives.

Whether the task be small or great, obey the instructions of God and don’t hesitate.
