The burning bush encounter between Moses and God serves as a powerful mirror for our own spiritual journeys, revealing how divine calling often meets human resistance. This message explores the transformative moment when an 80-year-old shepherd, living his third act of life in the wilderness, encounters the holiness of God in an ordinary bush that burns without being consumed. The fire itself becomes a profound symbol—unlike earthly flames that require fuel and eventually die out, God's presence sustains itself, needing nothing from creation to exist. This imagery challenges us to consider how we respond when God's extraordinary presence breaks into our mundane routines. Moses' initial response reveals a universal human struggle: feeling unqualified, unworthy, and inadequate for divine purpose. He cataloged his failures—a murderer rejected by both Egyptians and Hebrews, an outsider with a speech impediment, someone who felt he had nothing to offer. Yet God's response wasn't to find someone more qualified; it was to declare 'I AM'—the self-sufficient, all-powerful God who doesn't need our résumé, only our obedience. We discover that a life set apart isn't defined by our perfection but by our responsiveness and surrender to God's presence. The holiness of God calls us to pay attention to the ordinary moments where He might be speaking, to approach Him with active humility, to run with endurance knowing His presence never depletes, and to be obedient beyond our qualifications. When we stop focusing on our 'I am not' and embrace His 'I AM,' we position ourselves for transformation that can impact not just our lives but entire generations.
