MOSES! MOSES!
I AM THE GOD OF YOUR FATHER
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Moses! Moses!” “Here I am”, he
answered. “Come no closer. Take off your shoes. For the place on which you
stand is holy ground. I am the God of your father.” (Exodus 3:1…12)
Reflection. Moses grew up knowing the story of
his people. But now he came into this inheritance. It became real for him. He
was speaking with God. And he was hearing what his calling would be. A story
that had sustaind the identity of his family and people, but still remained distant
to him personally, now became an urgent reality for him. He had to do something
and it was frightening. He felt he was not up to the job. But God said to him ,
“I will be with you.” That was an assurance but it did not lessen the challenge
of taking up the call and facing the dreaded Pharoah.
Prayer. Lord, you have brought us into our
inheritance . Help us to take up the daily challenge it conveys. Amen.
