Moses led his flock into the
wilderness when he saw something weird—a burning bush that wasn’t consumed. The
bush didn’t burn out because God was in it.
A voice called out from the bush
saying, “Moses, Moses . . . remove your sandals from your feet, for the place
on which you are standing is holy ground. . . I am the God of your father.”
(Ex. 3:4-6). Remember, this happened before the tabernacle and temple were
built to worship God. Moses was only standing on dirt, but it was holy
ground because he was in the presence of a holy God.
The Lord spoke through a burning
bush to prove to Moses three things:
First, He knew exactly where Moses
was, even in the back side of a desert.
Second, He called Moses by name,
proving He knew all about him.
Third, the bush didn’t burn out,
showing He had endless energy.
Then God gave him an assignment. “I
will send you to Pharaoh so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel,
out of Egypt (3:10). Moses started making excuses, saying that he wasn’t
capable of doing it. The Lord assured him, “Certainly
I will be with you” (Ex. 3:12). When God calls you to do something, He
goes with you and gives you the ability to accomplish it.
People burn out because they’re doing
tasks that God never called them to do, or they’re doing them in their
own strength. Moses’ bush never burned out. And your bush won’t burn out
either, if God is in it. www.kentcrockett.blogspot.com www.makinglifecount.net
