Exodus 3:5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
God begins to reveal Himself to Moses. He reveals His presence irrespective of the environment. He reveals His holy nature, which keeps sinful man at a respectful distance. He reveals His identity, the same God as that of the patriarchs with whom He was in a covenant relationship (2:24). He reveals His compassion in that He heard the cries of the people. He reveals His purpose—His intention to intervene in response to His people’s cries of distress. And God reveals to Moses His sovereignty—that He is quite capable of bringing the Israelites out of their bondage and into a place of rest. Wow! What revelation at a burning bush! Have you ever had a “burning bush” revelation? Has God interrupted your day in some unique way, and you leaned in to see what was going on, and you found God there? God wants to reveal Himself to you. Pay attention. Lean in.
