” Dr. Charles Stanley: Sometimes people will say, “Well, you know, I’ve read the Bible, but I just don’t seem to understand it. I can’t–I would read it more often if I understood it.” Well, what I’d like to do is in this passage of scripture, give you an idea how to get more out of whatever you’re reading in the Word of God.
Because oftentimes we read it a little quickly, and we think, well, God ought to tell me exactly what I need to know right now. And I want you to turn, if you will, to the third chapter of Exodus, and I’ll give you a little idea what’s happened before the passage we’re gonna read. You’ll recall that Moses killed an Egyptian, and as a result, he spent 40 years on the other side of the desert from Egypt and became a herdsman.
And so he had a great downfall in his life. So, now, this passage of scripture begins with, “Moses was pastoring the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God,” on Mount Sinai. And then you know the part about the burning bush and how God worked in his life, and how suddenly he saw and heard and felt something that absolutely changed his life.
So I want us to look at what happened to him, and I want us to look at it in light of how you and I read the scripture, and not just a matter of what it says, but how do we read the scripture? And because the question you and I always want to answer is, “God, what are You saying to me?” You know, I could read any part of this Bible.
