Exodus
3 – God in the Burning Bush
We
never know what a day may bring, so it is important to keep our eyes and ears
open to the leading of the Lord.
Curiosity changed Moses’ life.
God calls busy people to serve him, and He reveals Himself to them.
God
is faithful. He called Abraham, cared
for Isaac, guided, and protected Jacob, and He would be with Moses. He is the God of the individual as well as
the nation, and He does not change from generation to generation.
God
is concerned and compassionate. He
saw the affliction of his people, and He heard their cries. Then why didn’t He
act sooner? Because He was following a perfect timetable. We must learn to wait on the Lord.
God
is Longsuffering. The Lord answered all of Moses’ objections
and gave one assurance after another to encourage him. Moses said, “I am not!” and God replied, “I AM! Faith lays hold of
what God is and obeys what God says.
Faith sees the opportunities while unbelief sees the obstacles. Are you arguing with God about something He
wants you to do?
God
never give us more than we can handle.
We may think so when overwhelming experiences come our way, but it is in
God’s desire to strengthen us and build our character. He sees things in us that we do not see in ourselves. Just as He did with Moses. When we are faced
with hard situations, we must ask God what it is that He wants us to learn from
this. Be open to instruction and do not fall into the “poor me, why me”
pit. Focus on what God’s plan might be
for us instead of the hardship itself.
Relax
– God is taking care of everything.
“Do
not tell God how big the storm is, Tell the storm how big your God is.”
