I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 6th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of 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?”

Then we go straight to the Book of Isaiah 6:8: 

“Whom shall I send and who will go for Us?”

Maybe the Lord is speaking to you this morning, and to me, and He’s saying that He wants us to keep on keeping on. He wants us to tell people about the soon-coming King. Jesus Christ is not coming soon, He’s on His way I tell you! You’ve heard me saying that many times, and it’s true. Folks, God used Moses. Moses was a shepherd, that’s right. Yes, he had been in Pharaoh’s court, but because he was a murderer, he ran for his life and ended up looking after his father-in-law’s sheep, and yet the Lord called him to set the people of Israel free.

The Lord uses whoever puts their hand up. Jesus Christ used fishermen, tax collectors, and tentmakers to do His bidding. “Why?” you ask. It’s a good question. I’ve asked myself that question many times before. “Lord, why do You use nobodies?” I believe it is because He will not share His glory with any man. So when a man like Moses puts his hand up, or a man like Peter or Paul the apostle, or Matthew the tax collector, and they start to work for God and God uses them powerfully, people will say, ”It wasn’t that man, that must have been God in that man.”

I think of D.L. Moody, one of the greatest evangelists of all time. Do you know that he couldn’t even speak properly? Do you know, he had no education? He was a shoe salesman. I think of C H Spurgeon, the prince of preachers, is what they call him - never went to Bible College in his life, spoke with a very broad English accent, an incredible man. At the age of twenty-one years old, they built the London Tabernacle for him to seat ten thousand people. Then what about Billy Graham? His only ambition, as a teenager, was to be a professional baseball player, but that man has touched millions around the world. He was a dairy farmer’s son.

Today, don’t despise the call that God has put on your life. You might be living in a nursing home, you might be in a school hostel in some boarding school, you might be an airline pilot. Jesus wants to use you today to set His people free. Just keep telling them what Jesus means to you. Remember, it’s Christ in you, the hope of glory!

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,
Goodbye.
