Introduction: Moses is an extremely humble man, superior to all people in the world, and a spiritual leader valued by God. He led the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan. He was used by God because he heard God's voice in a vision and obeyed God's will.
One: I saw an illusion-burning thorns.
People who have no vision are presumptuous. (Proverbs 29: 18) When you see a vision, you know the direction of your efforts. The burning thorn was a vision that God showed Moses, and it also revealed two truths.
1: God's conservatism
Thorns are despicable in nature and should be burned in the fire, but God kept them alive, just like the Israelites that day. (Out: Chapter 1, Section 12)
2. Human suffering
Although the thorns are not burned, they have to experience the pain in the fire. Although the Israelites in Egypt were not destroyed by God's protection, they lived in extreme pain. The king of Egypt played a trick on them. (Example: chapter 1, section 10, section 1 1) and killed their baby boy (section 22).
Two: There is a clear call-Moses.
Only those who see and are burdened can hear God's clear call.
1: It is the call of God.
Being called by God is to be reused by God, and those who are reused by God must be called by God. King Saul is a man known as the king (Sam 1. 8: 7) But in the end it was left by God. (1 Sam. 15, section 10) David was anointed by God and became a spiritual king.
This is a clear appeal.
God's call to man is very clear, not vague. When God called Moses, it was a double call-Moses. Today, when we are called, we should also know clearly whether it comes from God's call. Or out of people's call.
Three: There is an absolute obedience-take off your shoes.
Obedience is a condition of being reused by God, and it is also a way to get God's joy and blessing.
1: Obey God and take off your worldly shoes.
Moses lived in Egypt and in the world, and often acted according to flesh and blood. But man's anger (blood gas) cannot achieve God's righteousness. So when Moses saved his brother with blood, he was forced by Pharaoh to flee to Midian until he obeyed God in a vision and took off his worldly shoes.
2. Obey God on the road to sanctification
Moses changed his life because of obedience, from the pride of blood to the humility of obedience to God, from the method of blood to the waiting of obedience to God. Obedience to God made him holy. God praised him, "Moses was extremely humble, better than all the people in the world" (Min. : 12 Chapter III
A person who is valued by God must have foresight and know God's conservation and human needs. There must be a clear call to let us know that God has chosen to call us. Absolute obedience is necessary to make us blessed, sanctified and reused by God.
