The burning bush
Opening Prayer
Thank you Father, our great provider, that there is no promise you have made that you did not keep. During this season of Advent, help me remember and stand on your promises to me.
Read Exodus 3:14-15
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.’” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.’”
Meditation
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had made promises to them. The god who has no equal appeared to Moses in the burning bush and proclaimed his presence. He also announced his intention to continue carrying out the promises he had made; he would deliver the Israelites suffering in Egypt. He is the great I AM, and he will be faithful to keep his promises from generation to generation—to all who need him—forever.
