Last week, we met Moses as a baby floating in a basket, saved from the river by Pharaoh’s daughter. He grew up in Egypt, but now the story takes a surprising turn.
One day, while Moses was tending sheep in the wilderness, he saw something strange. A bush was on fire, but it didn’t burn up! Curious, he came closer. Then he heard a voice:
“Moses! Moses!”
“Here I am,” Moses answered.
God spoke from the flames:
“Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground. I have seen the suffering of my people in Egypt. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring them out.”
Moses was afraid. He whispered, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh?” He felt unworthy because of his past mistakes. But God gave him a promise:
“I will be with you.”
God was not choosing Moses because he was perfect, but because He had a great plan—and Moses was part of it!
What We Learned:
- God can speak to us in surprising ways.
- We don’t have to be perfect for God to use us.
- When God calls us, He promises to be with us.
- With God’s help, we can do important things for Him.
See you in church Sunday as we follow Moses to see where God will lead His people next!
