Question of the Day: What do people do before they give instructions?
Read about It
Read: Exodus 3:1–15
Can you imagine being Moses and seeing a bush that looked like it was burning, but it wasn’t actually burning?
God used that fire to grab Moses’s attention. God then told Moses that He had seen the suffering that Pharaoh had caused His people. God planned for Moses to have a role in ending that suffering. He told Moses to go to Pharaoh and to lead the people out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. This was a big job. Moses wasn’t sure he could do it, but God promised to be with him as he did his job.
Do you know that God is with you too? When you face tough times, ask for His guidance and trust His advice. When you follow His instructions, you can be sure God is with you just as He was with Moses.
