GLIMPSES OF THE GREAT GOD: DAY ONE

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of God 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.”

Then He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob...” At this, Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.

Exodus 3:1-6

What do you think Moses felt when he was confronted with this strange sight and when he heard the voice of God speaking to him? Read this Scripture passage through aloud two or three times and allow yourself to feel what Moses felt. Put yourself in Moses’ place and listen to the voice of God speaking to you. What is He saying to you? Allow yourself to soak in the awesomeness of this moment. You are actually, now, in the presence of the living God. He loves you and wants to speak to you. Give yourself time to listen and keep a record of what you think He is saying to you. As you work through all the Scriptures you will be reading this month, God will be revealing Himself to you again and again.
