I love the story of Moses found in Exodus 3:1. Moses lived on the back side of the desert for 40 years as a shepherd. No ambition or big plans any more, just take care of sheep…until God called him.

When God called Moses, he answered, “Here I am.” What a powerful statement. He didn’t run, which is what I would have done. Put yourself in his shoes. The bush was burning without burning up and now it talked. In fact it knows his name. Nothing good coming out of that experience. “I’m outta here”…at least that is what I would have done.

But Moses stayed and said, “Here I am.” That is the best you can do when God calls you is say, “Here I am.” There are no facades. God knows the good, the bad, and the ugly. You come to Him as you are. If you want to hear more go to http://fgfnj.org/index.php/extensions/listen-to-sermons and listen to “Here I am.” God Bless. Pastor Bob
