Here I Am Lord

 

God Teaches Us How to Know Him

Most people know about Moses from the Old Testament.
He is one of the most famous Biblical characters in
the secular world. Moses is almost bigger than life
centuries after he walked on this earth. But Moses
is really no different from you and me and there is
something about his story that we can all experience.

What Moses is most known for is the parting of the
Red Sea. I think a lot of us dream of spiritual
experiences along those lines. We are most impressed
by the incredible. The truth is that the majority of
us will never experience a spiritual reality on the
level of parting the Red Sea.
All of us can have a similar experience to what Moses
had at the burning bush. Moses was just like most of
us when he had his burning bush experience. He was
making life work his way. He found himself far from
the life he knew as a prince in Pharaoh’s household,
and even more removed from the Jewish heritage he
knew as a young boy. He was living his life without
conscious thought of God.
But God was thinking about Moses. God is the one who
shows us Who He is. 1 John 4:10 says, This is love:
not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent
his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. One day,
while Moses was busy living his life, he had an
encounter with the Living God that changed his life.
He saw a bush in the distance that burned without being
consumed. This made him wonder. Moses was wondering why
a bush that was burning did not burn up; he was not
wondering about God. Yet, when he walked over to check
out the bush; he heard God’s voice calling his name,
Moses! Moses! (Exodus 3:4).
I doubt that in your lifetime you will see a bush
that burns without being consumed, but I know that
if you listen you will hear God calling your name.
He doesn't give up on any one of us. I know that I
have heard him calling many a time when I, like
Moses, was not really looking for Him. He looked
for me anyway. One memorable time in my youth was
when at 15. I went to a Christian camp to see the
cute boys I had met a couple years earlier. What I
discovered was that what I really wanted was a deeper
relationship with God. I guess I could call that my
burning bush experience. Just like Moses I was focused
on what I thought life was about, and God surprised me
by showing me that there was so much more.
Moses had no idea what to do next after God called his name. Not knowing what else to do, he simply said,

Here I am (Exodus 3:4).

God is the one who told him what to do. He told him not to come closer, but to take off his sandals and recognize the reality that he was standing on holy ground.

When I heard God calling me, He gave me
instruction too. He taught me to read His Word just a
little every day. I have been doing that for the three
decades since.

Listen to His call and He will give you the instruction you need to know Him.

 

Lyrics to "Here I Am Lord",

by © John Michael Talbot

 

I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.

I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Chorus
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

 

I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.

Finest bread I will provide,
'Til their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?

Chorus
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

I will hold your people in my heart.
