God announces to Moses that he is about to do something, the magnitude of which is staggering. In fact, the event that is announced here is the defining event of Israel’s history. This is how the nation will be born. It will be dramatic and will be against impossible circumstances. It is worth reflecting on the fact that, in a sense, we too are called to be part of an event that is equally magnificent. God calls us, as he called Moses, to tell people that God sees them, that he is concerned about them and that he has made a way for them to escape from spiritual bondage. God has called us to lead people out of the ‘Egypt’ of this world system and into the place of blessing with God. I have experienced this joy. It is the joy of sharing the good news and walking beside people as they embark on a new life in Christ. When did you last experience the blessing of walking with someone through this experience? Maybe you haven’t been looking for opportunities to do this? Often, we assume that people won’t be interested in talking about spiritual things. You would be surprised. I think we underestimate how hungry people are to find a meaning and purpose for their lives. We also underestimate what God is already doing in people’s lives. If you are open, attentive and willing to be a part of what God wants to do then you will find plenty of open doors to share your faith.
Prayerfully consider your response to God’s call on your life.
Read Exodus 3:16-22
