1. Holy ground (1-6)
Moses was taking care of sheep on the far side of the desert near Mount Sinai when he saw a bush burning. He went near to see why it was not consumed in the fire, and God called him by name. God who called Moses was not some vague spirit; he was the God of history, the God of promise, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob--the God his father had trusted. Holy ground is the place where a person meets God.
2. Go, I am sending you (7-1
)
God called Moses to give him a mission. God saw the misery of his people in bondage. He came down to bring them out. He promised to bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey, a broad and good land-a land full of enemies to overcome. Despairing slaves needed hope and vision. He said to Moses, 'Go, I am sending you. Bring my people out.' God's promise planted hope in their hearts. God's promises are sure, but we must believe and act on them.
Prayer: Lord, the most desolate ground is holy when you are there to give us vision and hope.
One Word: God keeps his promises
