God Calls Moses
Wednesday, June 5, 2024Key Verse
““And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I” Exodus 3:4
Text — Exodus 3:1-10
Message
Moses was born at a time when there was serious crisis in the lives of God’s chosen people – Israel. The Israelites were suffering in Egypt. At that time, there was a decree by Pharaoh to kill any male child born to any Israelite family. It was at this time that Moses was born. Moses ended up as an adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter and was entitled to become the next king in Egypt. But God had a better plan for him which is the central point of this discussion.
The better plan God had for Moses was to become a prophet and a deliverer of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. To establish the relationship, God appeared to Moses in a burning bush. He drew his attention to why the bush was burning and not consumed. Moses became curious and wanted to know why this was so and he drew near to the fire. Then God called him out of the fire and told him what to do. God has a better plan for you. You may not understand now, but what is required of you is obedience to God and His Word. Once you obey, you will be blessed.
