FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT ACTION: JOY
Laugh today—watch something funny or share a joke with a friend.
Today’s story focuses on Moses’ encounter with the burning bush, where God calls him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. It shows that God uses seasons of uncertainty to prepare us for greater purposes and challenges us to embrace His call with faith and courage.
STORY
Bible in a Year: A Conversation with Fire
Scripture
Then the Lord said, 'I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings.'
Exodus 3:7
You may run in shame, but God’s calling on your life will remain.
Moses ran and thought he was done with Egypt, the Hebrews, and a complicated life. He was wrong. God was grooming him to be a Shepherd of His people.
In this Bible in a Year episode, we witness Moses' transition from a life of privilege to a period of uncertainty. After killing an Egyptian and fleeing to Midian, Moses finds himself in a place of isolation, far from the life he once knew. Yet, it is here, in the wilderness, that God speaks to him through the burning bush, calling him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
This story is a powerful testament to how God often uses our periods of uncertainty and isolation to prepare us and call us to greater purposes. Moses' encounter with the burning bush is a pivotal moment where fear and doubt give way to a sense of divine mission.
It teaches us that God's plans often unfold in unexpected ways and that He can use our most challenging experiences to shape our destiny.
REFLECTION
Have you been running from your calling because of shame or doubt in your abilities? God rarely calls us to something within our comfort zones. We are called to face the unknown with courage and lead the charge of redemption. Consider the ways in which you can be open to God's calling, even when it comes from the most unexpected places.
PRAYER
And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
EXODUS 3:2
Like Moses Lord, open my eyes to see that I am a survivor! Open my eyes to see that I am called, even when my calling is questioned by those who don’t believe. Give me God moments that will illuminate my mind and heart like the burning bush in Genesis. I declare that I will no longer try to convince others that I have a purpose but instead when questioned I will tell them that God co-signed my life and purpose. When I feel unworthy, strengthen me and affirm me Lord. Anoint my speech so that it will flow like the oil of heaven, let my words be sweet to the ears like honey is to the taste. I declare that I will no longer look down on myself nor on my capabilities because You have equipped me with the ability to move in signs and wonders. Therefore… I am not alone, I declare that I am not helpless because The God of the Universe has called me and has validated my Life. Look out future, because I am on the move and I am ready to grab all that God has for me! I am the one! I am chosen! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏾
