God's Redemption Story (Exodus - Joshua)Sample

Have you ever tried scheduling God into your life? “Okay, God, I have 15 minutes before my doctor's appointment. If you could give me an answer or just a sign, that would be great.” Or maybe you read a short Bible verse in the morning, expecting God to speak, and then go on about your day. Do you attend a Sunday church service only to forget the point of the sermon? I often ask God to show up when I need something and expect him to fit into my day. But am I willing to change my day to fit His plans?

We read of how God showed up in amazing ways, such as burning bushes and clouds of fire, and we applaud those who respond in faith and obedience. Moses was busy with his sheep. He could have acknowledged God’s presence, called the burning bush amazing, and walked right back to his herd. Instead, he let God interrupt His life. He had faith that God’s plans, as scary as they may be, were better than his plans for himself.
