Fwd: thought

"….the place you are standing is holy ground." (Exodus 3:5) It was a ordinary day. Moses was doing his job tending his father-in-law's sheep. Suddenly he looks up and sees a bush burning yet it is not consumed by the fire. "what is going on here?" he says to himself. Moses walks toward the bush burning but not being burned up. There is a atmosphere that is strange, then he hears a voice: "stop where you are, take off your sandals, you are on holy ground." In this moment the Lord tells Moses he is concerned about his people living in slavery in Egypt. He wants Moses to go lead them to freedom.  In this moment Moses becomes a changed person. The fire burns in his heart and consumes his mind. He has to obey this command, even though it scares him to death. There is a time to wander in the dessert and a time to leave and go into the world of suffering to heal and help. 

I dare say everyone has those burning bush moments. It may be when you are young and it may be when you are old. God does not measure time as we do. He may call you as a young person to spend the rest of your life in his work.He may call you when you are nearing the end and in a short time do important work with you. There was a man 60 years old in seminary same time as me. In a few short years God would bless other through this man. 

Be aware of the holy ground on which you stand at any moment. Listen…..
