“God called to
him…and he said, Here am I.”
“…I have surely
visited you, and seen that which is done to you…” Exodus 3:4; 16b
A VISIT FROM GOD
God makes surprise visits ~ are you ready?
A ready person
never needs to get ready!
Moses had a
visit from God and He used a burning bush that wasn’t consumed to get his
attention.
God called him
by name…Moses; and introduced Himself as The God of his forefathers ~ The I AM!
He told Moses He
had come down from the Heavenlies to visit and deliver His People…
and, He was
going to use Moses to do it!
Moses said: Here am I…but he had lots of questions and
doubt and fear.
All of which are
signs of the opposing Enemy; and, all of which only God can remove…and
He did!
Have you had a
burning bush?
Something that
got your attention
that could only be explained by God...
and, God spoke
and gave you a mission?
Additional Notes:
I think
Moses was at his place of worship because he called it the mountain of
God. He also recorded that he took the
flock to the back side of the desert to this spot. He was in Midian and all the maps show this
mountain a distance away.
In my
attempt to find out where Horeb and Midian were during that time, I found many
maps and I didn’t find a definite.
My
conclusion: It doesn’t matter to
me. I think Moses had a favorite place
where he went to be alone and in this account it is called Horeb; and I believe
that God sent an angel to set a bush on
fire to get his attention; and as he drew near to figure it out, God spoke to
him and Moses knew it was God and his life was changed forevermore!
