Are you familiar with "Imposter Syndrome?" It's that little voice inside your head that loves to tell you, "you're a fake, a phony, and one day everyone is going to figure you out. You can't fool them forever."
Do you ever hear that voice inside your head? I love what Adam Grant says about Imposter Syndrome. "Imposter syndrome is a paradox. Others believe in you but you don't believe in yourself. Yet, you believe yourself instead of them. If you doubt yourself, shouldn't you also doubt your judgment of yourself? When multiple people believe in you, it might be time to believe them."
Read that again, slowly. You probably need to hear it.
When God encountered Moses through the burning bush and told him his plan to use Moses to set his people free, Moses' first question was, "Who am I?" In other words, "God, what makes you think I'm competent? I'm a failure, a phony, and everyone has figured me out."
When we hear Moses' question, we hear something of our own self-doubt. And just like Moses, we need to hear God answer back, "But I am with you."
