Have you
had your Joy Juice today? God has
revealed to us that He wants us to experience His joyful plan for our lives.
Do you
recall the story about Moses and the burning bush? It’s found in the book of Exodus. Moses had grown up in Egypt in the palace of
the Pharaoh. When he was about 40 years old, he ran away from Egypt & spent
the next 40 years on the backside of the desert with the Midianites. It was there
that God worked on Moses and taught him what he would need to know to be a
leader---to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
One day Moses saw something very
unusual…a bush that appeared to be on fire, but it wasn’t burning up. God spoke
to Moses from that bush. Moses was afraid. God was calling him to service. Do
you remember what Moses did? He made
excuses!
Finally, he relinquished to God’s call. But he asked God to tell him what to say to
the children of Israel. We find God’s answer in Exodus 3:14: “God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This
is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
As Christians we are called to serve God. Will we, like
Moses, try to make excuses? Or will we joyfully serve the Great I Am? Every
Christian is called by God to serve …just in different ways. May we all serve
God no matter where He places us.
Let’s listen to God as He speaks to our hearts and be joyfully
obedient to the call of the Great “I AM”.
