God interrupts the ordinary with the extraordinary. Moses, a shepherd in the wilderness, is drawn to a bush that burns but isn’t consumed. God calls Moses by name, showing personal intimacy. The command to remove his sandals reveals reverence, this is holy ground. Moses hides his face, overwhelmed by divine presence. Sometimes, God meets us in the wilderness of our lives, through unexpected signs that call us to listen, reverence, and transformation.


It reads in Exodus 3:1–6 Easy: Moses worked as a shepherd, and he took care of Jethro’s sheep. Jethro was his wife’s father and he was the priest of Midian. Moses led the sheep to the far side of the desert. He came to Sinai, the mountain of God. The angel of the Lord appeared to Moses there. The angel looked like a fire that was burning in the middle of a bush. Moses looked at the bush. He saw that it was on fire, but the fire still did not destroy it. Moses said to himself, ‘I will go nearer and see this strange thing. I want to see why the bush is not completely burned.’ The Lord saw that Moses came near to look at the bush. God spoke to Moses from inside the bush. He said, ‘Moses! Moses!’ Moses answered, ‘Here I am.’ God said to Moses, ‘Do not come nearer! Remove your shoes from your feet. The ground that you are standing on is holy.’ 6 Then God said, ‘I am the God that your father worshipped. I am also the God of your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’ Then Moses covered his face. He was afraid to look at God.


Father God, You, are the God who speaks from fire, who calls us by name in the wilderness, who turns ordinary ground into holy ground. Like Moses, we come with questions, with weariness, with a past we cannot undo. Yet You meet us, not with condemnation, but with calling. Teach us to recognize Your voice in the quiet places, in the strange sights, in the moments we least expect. Help us remove the sandals of pride, fear, and distraction. Make our hearts an altar, clean, willing, and ready. Let Your presence burn without consuming, refining us for the work ahead. You are the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of legacy, promise, and restoration. We are listening. We are here. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
