Exodus 3 As Moses pastures the sheep.. an ordinary day at work.. he sees a burning bush and everything changes for him in that moment .

His relationship with God is forever changed.
His family life is forever changed.
His dwelling place is changed.
And his purpose for living is also changed.

Moses is brought first - to the Presence of God.. holy ground.
Then he is given a revelation from God - the I Am.
Then he is given an assignment from God - go back to Egypt.
Finally, he is given resources for the job - power to do signs, words to speak, insight into the responses, and  a helper, Aaron.

God introduces Himself to Moses as "the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."  He reveals His name - I AM - Yahweh, Jehovah, Lord;

As Moses tries to talk God out of choosing him because of his lack of good speech, God says this interesting statement, " Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him dumb or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I the Lord?"

We don't want to think about this, do we? But, all things are in His hands.. all things. Including our mouths, our eyes, and our ears.  How important it is that we  understand this truth! We hear and speak and see.. because God gives us the means to do it!  May we do all things.. all things.. for His glory!

Father in heaven, You are holy and mighty.  You are God and there is no-one like You.  We worship You alone. Draw us near to the holy flame of Your Presence and sanctify us through and through.  May we know You more, love You deeper, and serve You faithfully every day. Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray this.. Amen.
