The Bush Is Still Burning… Let God Be God

The Bush Is Still Burning… Don’t Miss the Moment

Exodus 3:7-10 New Living Translation… Then the Lord told him, “I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering. ⁸ So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and spacious land. It is a land flowing with milk and honey—the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live. ⁹ Look! The cry of the people of Israel has reached me, and I have seen how harshly the Egyptians abuse them. ¹⁰ Now go, for I am sending you to Pharaoh. You must lead my people Israel out of Egypt.”

Introduction: When it comes to God’s active presence in our lives, it demands our humble decrease so that God may be increased, giving way for our ordinary existences to be upgraded by the extraordinary God.

Transition: Exodus 3:7-10 reveals a silent Moses, who has humbly decreased (Reference John 3:30) to let God be God.

Exposition: We hear the pain and faith of the Israelites, and we hear the plan and faithfulness of God.

–Ascending Prayer

Reference Zechariah 2:8; James 5:16

–Descending Power

Rescue. Reestablish. Rich Land.

Conclusion: Between the prayer and power is over 400 years of slavery. It was a worrisome wait.
