Divine ground or interruption….
Yesterday, I was dutifully getting ready for the women’s Bible study, checking the house, making sure I turned off the stove,lights out, etc…ready to pick up my purse and walk out the door….the phone rang…
“If I answer, I will be late…” but as I looked at the name, I knew I had to answer…and listen, encourage…their pain is deep and they needed a listening ear….
20 minutes later, we finished and I thought “I will only be 15 minutes late”, so headed for the door again and there was a knock at my front door….doesn’t happen that often in the morning , so I better check….another one who needed to talk as recent widowhood is painful as well….
Needless to say I didn’t make it to Bible study…God had other plans…
But, it was a study in itself…
Moses, whom I had just read about, was “interrupted “ in the desert by a burning bush…holy ground, divine appointment…a call that changed his life’s direction…
We mostly likely don’t get such dramatic calls or interruptions…but, we still have to heed them…
Thank YOU…
Exodus 3 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”
4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
And Moses said, “Here I am.”
5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
“When people bare their souls to you, you are on holy ground, your responsibility is to listen and love ….”Sarah Young…
Psalm 143: 8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.
John7:38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Teaching my heart to listen…
