The Story of My Life - Seeing Yourself in the Life of Moses預覽

God’s Call To You

Invitation to SELAH

Before you spend time face-to-face with God today, take some time to SELAH (Stop, Exhale, Lean In, Ask & Hear).

Reflect

Sometimes, God responds to our calls to Him, but other times God doesn’t wait for us to be looking for Him, He just shows up. That’s exactly what we see happening here. In the middle of another ordinary day for Moses, God called out to him from a strange bush that was engulfed in flames, but not being burnt up. Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself through the symbol of fire. God’s fire is not out of control, but instead it is uniquely controlled in such a way that it is burning but not consuming.

There are two things to notice from this passage. First, God called Moses by name. God’s call to Moses wasn’t a general invitation, but a very specific command. Second, Moses responded this time not by running in fear, but with a simple statement of his willingness to be present before God. “Here I am.”

The more you spend time face-to-face with God, the more you’ll realize the specific call He has for your life. Time spent in God’s presence leads to clarity in our purpose.
