Daily Scripture
“Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
Exodus 3:1-5
devotion
Moses found himself in a remote wilderness, feeling stuck in a forgotten place. Yet it was here, amidst the mundane, that God's presence appeared in the form of a burning bush. When Moses chose to approach, God spoke, revealing that the place where he stood was holy ground. Just as God was present with Moses in his darkest moment, He meets us in our struggles. In the midst of feeling trapped, God's invitation is to see that something different is possible. His presence has the power to transform our circumstances.
Have you been avoiding God's call because you feel stuck? What might happen if you choose to approach and allow God to work in your life?
