You are the God-Who-Sees. (Genesis 16:13)
After days of travel, Moses arrived at a well. He saw some women trying to get water for their flocks. But the men-shepherds were pushing them away. Moses helped the women.
Their father took Moses into his home and gave him a job as a shepherd. Later, Moses married one of his daughters.
It looked like Moses was settled. But, one special day, Moses was grazing the sheep when he noticed a bush on fire. Even though the bush was in flames, it didn’t burn up. When Moses went closer, a Voice said, “Take off your shoes. This is holy ground.” Moses knew that this was the Voice of God.
That special day, God told Moses what He wanted Moses to do. God wanted Moses to go back to Egypt, go to the palace, and tell the king that God wanted him to set the Hebrew people free from slavery.
Moses was scared. He didn’t want to do it. After all, he had run away from the palace in fear. He was a wanted man.
Do you think God was able to change Moses’ mind?
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You that You know where I am right now - please help me to know what You want me to do. Amen.
