” Dr. Charles Stanley: When is the last time you felt God speak to your heart very specifically about something you asked Him about? Maybe never. But maybe often. Our text is about how God spoke to Moses. And so He spoke through a burning bush. And so I titled this message, “Our Burning Bushes.” Here’s the reason.
I think about in my own life, how God has spoken to get my attention, oftentimes. It has come in times unexpectedly and personally to me about something in my life, challenged me to trust Him in an area maybe that was a little difficult. Each has had a powerful and lasting impact on my life. So I want you to turn to Exodus chapter 3 and look at the burning bush and how God spoke to Moses in this 3rd chapter of Exodus.
“Now Moses was pasturing 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 he came to Horeb, the mountain of God,” which we call Sinai. “The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.
So Moses said, ‘I must–I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.’ When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ‘Moses, Moses!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ Then He said, ‘Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you’re standing is holy ground.
