A burning bush

A shepherd on a hill side watching his sheep is suddenly attracted to a strange sight - a burning bush.

But the bush although it burns, does not disintegrate and instead it remains intact, untouched by the flames.



Moses comes into the presence of God.

We considered this strange sight today and what it tells us about God, but also, what it tells us about ourselves.

Go to Pharaoh, Moses is told - the response? Not me, I am not confident enough, not eloquent enough, send someone else, but not me!



How many times do we doubt our own capabilities and avoid new challenges?

Go!  Moses is told, because God knows that he is capable and more than able and that equally importantly, He will be with him every step of the way.
