Day 12 - Enjoy the Silence

Exodus 3:1-6 ---

¹ Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. ² There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. ³ So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up."

⁴ When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!"
And Moses said, "Here I am."

⁵ "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." ⁶Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

Hey guys!

So I have had a pretty awesome day, how about you? I had a whole mini revelation tonight about "character". You are what you do. People see that. Anyway, that's just a thought, let's get to the silence. Read the excerpt from Exodus, think about what God's startling appearance must of been like for Moses. How would you have felt if you were Moses? Now, try this, journal as if you were Moses, what would he have written down after that experience?

So, think back over the past 24 hours! Did you hear or see God's presence in your life? If yes, then when and where? Jot these things down as you remember. Just a thought, sometimes, well most of the time God speaks to us in less dramatic ways then a burning bush. If you did hear God, how did you respond? How did He speak to you? What were His words of encouragement for today?

Remember, even if you can't think of a time when you saw or heard God today, that doesn't mean he was silent or absent. Relax, your very attention in reading these words is a clear indication that you're willing to listen, and that is a gift to God.

Waiting for something beautiful.
