"Here I Am" — Andrew Forrest

Exodus 3:4-5

4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to
him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”

When the Lord calls Moses, Moses responds in exactly the right way:

“Here I am.” In other words, Moses immediately makes himself available to the Lord.

How are you and I half-heartedly responding to God’s call today? What would it look like for you and I to be fully obedient and take the next faithful step?

P.S. “Holy” is something set-apart for God’s purposes. So, the ground is holy ground because God is using it to commission Moses. And, it will turn out that this same mountain is where Israel will later receive the Law and be commissioned as God’s people.
