Exodus 3:7 Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, 8 and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9 And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
We began yesterday to look at Moses' discovery of the God Who sees, hears, and knows. When he stopped to look at the burning bush he encountered Him. That began this conversation with God speaking first. God saw and was going to do something - through Moses. God saw it all - good and bad - mostly bad. He was about to act and Moses had gotten a glimpse of His plan. That put Moses in a position to be sent. Like him, we often want to run at that point. That's really not a valid option. It is often easier for us to see when God is calling someone else, and to rejoice at what He does. It is much harder for us to say "yes, Lord." What will you say today?
