| What did Moses do when the burning bush was no longer on fire? Did he ask himself, 'Was all that a dream? Did God really speak to me'? What did Moses do? The hardest part of responding to God's call often is to act after the call has come, after God has spoken. God just waits to see if we have really meant what we said. Moses immediately took the first step of faith and went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and told him God had called him to go back to Egypt. Sometimes telling our own family what we believe God wants us to do is the hardest step of all. But Jethro simply said, 'Go in peace'. Then God confirmed his call to Moses in three more ways: 1. He repeated the call himself (v.19). 2. He sent Aaron out to meet Moses (vv. 14, 27). 3. The people believed what Aaron and Moses said (v.31). God is so gracious. When our faith is weak, he knows it and will often give confirmation of the step we are taking through friends, loved ones or circumstances. God simply waits on our response to his call. When we respond, we open the way for God to move on and all we have to do is follow. Has God asked you to do something for him? What are you waiting for? Or have you taken the first step? Take it and see what God will do for you and with you. |
