“Forty years later, an angel appeared to Moses in the flame of a burning bush in the wilderness near Mount Sinai. Enthralled by the sight, Moses approached to get a closer look and he heard the Lord’s voice: ‘I am the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Trembling with fear, Moses didn’t dare to investigate any further. The Lord continued, ‘Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. I have clearly seen the oppression my people have experienced in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning. I have come down to rescue them. Come! I am sending you to Egypt.’ (Acts 7:30-34, CEB)
So there was a bush burning and Moses stopped to look at it and then a voice came. What would you do?
Honestly I would have run. But Moses just kind of paused.
God then explains who the voice is and that Mose is a chosen voice for God. God is going to work in and through Moses, like the burning of the bush without it burning to be there for God’s people.
Have you ever seen a burning bush that wasn’t consumed? Maybe it wasn’t a bush…
Listen, God is calling and will work in and through you.
Loving People. Loving God.
