Guidelines For Accurately Interpreting The Scriptures

A seminary student who had a speech defect was wrestling with whether or not he ought to go into the ministry. He read Exodus 4:10-11, in which Moses tried to hide behind his defects, and whom God challenged with a promise to teach him what to say.
Is it legitimate for someone today to use that text for a life decision about ministry?
I. Not all history is our history.
This text was given to Moses. There is a principle behind it: God is the one who takes responsibility for the impediment. That he overcame the difficulty with Moses doesn’t follow that He will overcome the difficulty with me.
