un-series - In His Presence

we seek to put the person of God in everything we do. As Moses looked, he saw that the bush was on fire but was not consumed. 3 So Moses thought, “I must go over and look at this remarkable sight. Why isn’t the bush burning up?”4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from the bush, “Moses, Moses!”“Here I am,” he answered.5 “Do not come closer,” he said. “Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”EXODUS 3:2-5“IN HIS PRESENCE”.WE ARE SEEN4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from the bush, “Moses, Moses!”For 40 years Moses lived as an obscure shepherd in the desert of Midian. At this point his life was so humble that he didn’t even have a flock of sheep to call his own – the sheep belonged to his father-in-law.You are important to God."But now, this is what the Lord says – he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: 'Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.ISAIAH 43:1-27 Indeed, the hairs of your head are all counted. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.LUKE 12:7 WE ARE HUMBLED5 “Do not come closer,” he said. “Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”In this moment, Moses is invited to step into the revelation that the value of His life is not found in a pair of sandals, but in a God who knows His name…WE ARE WASHED4 So he got up from supper, laid aside his outer clothing, took a towel, and tied it around himself. 5 Next, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around him.6 He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”7 Jesus answered him, “What I’m doing you don’t realize now, but afterward you will understand.”8 “You will never wash my feet,” Peter said.Jesus replied, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”JOHN 13:4-8 “This was an immoderate modesty, a proud humility.”Then they began to argue among themselves about who would be the greatest among them.LUKE 22:24Jesus replied, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”We are grateful Jesus did not say, If you do not have great holiness, you have no part with Me. We are happy He did not say, If you are not a Bible expert, you have no part with Me. Having a part with Jesus begins simply with receiving something from Him, not achieving something our self.WE ARE SENTNow go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.”EXODUS 3:10
