Scripture: Acts 7:30-31
Now when forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning bush. When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight;
Thought for the Day: Rob Bell asserts that the Burning Bush that Moses encountered had always been burning – there was just something in that moment that made Moses recognize the fire. I believe Rob is onto something important here. The burning power of the Spirit is forever present to us, but so often we are wearing our fire retardant and heat resistance clothing in the form of low expectation, disappointment and pessimism. We do not experience the heat or take notice of the Spirit’s consuming power because the last thing we expect in the moment is the Holy. It is time for the body of Christ to allow the Spirit, who is present whether we recognize it or not, to do its thing.
Prayer: May I recognize your presence, O Holy One, working to shape my life that I might help you change the world. Amen.
See You Tomorrow
Wear Your Red
