I Have Never Been Eloquent

Moses said to the Lord, “O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”
11 The Lord said to him, “Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord? ~Exodus 4:10-11

Moses thought that eloquence was a necessary qualification to be a herald of God's Word. God's requirement was that Moses have a mouth. The God who made the mouth, would fill it with the words that He wanted spoken.
