“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)
I am God and I am sending you to Egypt.
Again, I would have been like, nope sorry, I’ve got sheep to tend, send someone else. In fact, my call story has that running. I did not immediately go when God showed up and invited me to be a pastor. I find such comfort in Jonah’s story and in those who knew they were called.
Where is God sending you?
