The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Exodus 3:1-4, “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 came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
2 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.
3 So Moses said, ‘I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.’
4 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.”

Strange things occur when we least expect them. I remember just going into the garage, when the next thing I knew I had fallen and hit my head on the the car. The ER nurse gave me stitches for my nose; I had two PET scans and spent a night in hospital. Some things you don’t forget.

Moses had something like that. He was attending to the flock of his father-in-law, when he saw a burning bush. The LORD’s angel was in the midst of the fire, but the bush itself was not consumed. I doubt that Moses ever forgot that.

We don’t have to know where the LORD is, because He always knows precisely where we are and how to get our attention. When He makes Himself known to us, we are more than obliged to answer. Think how exciting it is that the LORD of the universe knows us and wants to use us in His plan!

Moses learned that the LORD uses His people to accomplish His work. And it’s never an imposition to those who know Him. We want to be involved with Him in His work. Yet, He only uses those who are committed to Him and stay in regular communication with Him.

Are you one of His? Are you in active communication with Him daily
in prayer? Are you reading His Word daily? Is He using you? Life with the LORD Jesus is life beyond all measure! Trust Him and see!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
