The Study of Exodus with Tina Rains - Chapter 3

Welcome back to chapter 3 of Exodus. The bush is burning yet doesn’t catch everything on fire. God speaks to him from that burning bush. It took that miraculous event to get Moses’ attention when he called him.

How many times has it taken the Lord showing up like a fire for you to pay attention I want to pay close attention to what He is saying. I do not want to wait on fire to pay attention to his voice, second by second.

There is great significance in the burning bush. God took something insignificant and turned it into something significant, a miracle of sorts.

Moses wasn’t sure he could do it was he? He asks who am I to tell them? He was insecure. He wasn’t sure why the elders would listen to him. He offers to God that Someone can do it better.

Then God tells him He will be with him. How many times do we fail to move forward because we do not feel significant enough to do something?

Then in 3:13, He says “I don’t know your name”

God spoke to Moses and made it clear who HE was. Exodus 3:5 I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Moses asks what do I say when they ask who sent me? 3:14 I Am Who I AM.

God is going to deliver the Israelites from the Egyptians and take them to a place of milk and honey, a place of freedom and peace. He is going to use Moses to do it.

When God called me, I thought to myself, “I am way too busy to take this on.” How often do we get busy doing things that do not get us where God is calling us to? That was my excuse among many others.  I can so relate to Moses….

The Lord often uses very busy people like us… He used Gideon when he was threshing grain, (Jud 6), Samuel was serving in a tabernacle (1 Sam 3) David was a shepherd, tending sheep (17:20) Mathew was a tax collector. What is taking up your time?

He is going to deliver us. God is promising us HE CAN AND WILL deliver us from any bondage or oppression we may be holding on to.

What HE has called us to, he will provide…

He will equip us….

He will show himself powerful and Almighty….

He will do the miraculous….

We just have to be like Moses and be willing to answer the calling….

Help us to rest in you and listen and trust that you will give us very explicit instructions….

You will provide in the midst…

I love how God shows up, chooses a leader, and then watches what He does…

In the Maxwell Leadership Bible, page 68 we see the 8 things he shows us in Exodus 2:11 – 4:20

When God Chooses a Leader

1.  God gives the leader an emotional investment in the work.
   •  Moses ”bought into” the idea of freeing the Hebrews from bondage even before God called him to the task.
2.  God affirms the leader through others.
   •  When Moses told Jethro about his encounter at the burning bush, his father-in-law affirmed him.
3.  God gives the leader mentors.
   •  Moses asked for4 and received help from Jethro, Aaron, and others.
4.  God builds on the leader’s strengths, experiences, and background.
   •  God uses everything Moses” background to help him fulfill his calling: the fine education he received in Egypt; his knowledge of Pharaoh; his understanding of Egypt; and his time in the wilderness.
5.  God often refines the leader’s character in obscurity.
   •  Moses received a 40-year “seminary education” in the desert.
6.  God instills in the leader the value of hard work.
   •  Moses may. Not have worked much in the Egyptian palace, but he learned its worth in the desert!
7.  God sustains that leader with a powerful vision.
   •  Moses caught the vision of the promised land long before the Hebrew slaves did.
8.  God brings others alongside the leader to compensate for their weaknesses.
   •  Moses enjoyed the help of Aaron as a spokesman, Joshua as a general, and Hur as a battle supporter.

What has God called you to lead? Are you feeling overwhelmed? Trust HIM even in the desert…. Trust HIM even in the Wilderness! He will provide!

Jesus right now Father God, the I AM, Yahweh  I just switch her everything to you! I pray Father God that you help us to see miracles all around us that you are performing! Lord thank you for using us & thank you for calling us! Jesus takes the unbelief away. Show up on my behalf and on the behalf of those who are enslaved and oppressed. We surrender our will.
