God appears to Moses...God turns ordinary into Holy

Exodus 3:8 So I have come to rescue them from the Egyptians and even out of Egypt to enter their own good and spacious land. God appears to Moses. God commissions Moses and gives him a job to do. Exodus chapter 3 verses 1-3 One day Moses was tending the flock of his father in law jethro the priest of midian and he went deep into the wilderness near Sinai the mountain of God. Suddenly the angel of the LORD appeared to him as a blazing fire in a bush. Moses was amazed because the bush was engulfed in flames but it didn't burn up "amazing"....Moses said to himself. what struck me today was the fact that God revealed himself to Moses on an ordinary day in an extraordinary way. Moses fled Egypt because he had killed an egyption slave master. Moses sinned. But as I read about Moses this morning I saw how much Moses was being formed into the mighty man of God and the leader that God would use. Moses killed the Egyptian master because he felt injustice in his heart. Moses knew slavery of God's special people was wrong. Moses was raw and in the flesh and did not know how to handle his emotions. God really spoke to my heart this morning over and over again in today's 1 year Bible reading with the word "rescue"...the word rescue is cited several times in Exodus and the theme rescue is also seen. First Moses was rescued from being murdered at the hands of Pharaoh.    Moses' mother put her son in a basket in the river. Moses was then rescued by Pharaoh's daughter. Moses fled Egypt and was living in the land of midian and was rescued from a life of guilt and sadness. Moses encounters God in the burning bush. Moses was rescued from a  mundane routine life and led into a life of awesome ministry for God.I love how Moses says to the Lord in Exodus 3 verse 11 Who Am I to appear before Pharoah? Moses should have stopped talking after that... We too can learn a lesson here. It is good to talk to God and and ask him Who am I. He will tell us the answer we are children of God we have a plan and a purpose in God's will.  I love to think about the sphere of influence. A college student may think I'm just a college student I can't impact God's kingdom. Wrong!! God will use the ordinary to do extraordinary things. The bush was normal there was nothing extraordinary about it but when God comes the consuming fire, the bush is no longer just a bush... the bush becomes 1 of the most powerful symbols in all of Scripture. We all know the story of the burning bush and how God spoke to Moses in the burning bush. God does the same with us today. ... God uses the ordinary to reach us. God wants to be the Lord of our everyday, day to day life and decisions and our everyday encounters with others. God does not want us to be Sunday only worshippers... God wants us to worship Him in spirit and in truth. I love how God warns Moses in verse 5 of chapter 3 of Exodus "do not come any closer" God told him take off your sandals for you are standing on holy ground. God had to tell Moses He was holy and tell him he was standing on holy ground. God reminded me of the same thing. Raising kids is holy.... being a mother of a special needs child is holy.... having devotions with your spouse is holy .....going to the store and praying for a stranger is holy. Is this taking it too far? No. God wants to take us out of our comfort of Midian, release us from our fears of Egypt and use us to reflect our rescuer --Jesus. Psalm 22 verse 8, "Is this the one who relies on the Lord? Let the Lord save him if the Lord loves him so much let the Lord rescue him . Psalm 22 "for our ancestors trusted in you and you rescued...them you heard their cries for help and saved them. They put their trust in you and we're never disappointed." God is not a disappointing God. God is the God of love, of mercy and He is our Savior our rescuer. May we be sensitive to the spirit so God can invade are ordinary and use us to do extraordinary things for his kingdom.
