I found this draft that hadn't been published yet.  Don't know why.  Since I am through with Peter, I will sed this that I wrote about Moses now.

In the O.T. in the book of Exodus we find Moses alone in a strange land.  He had fled Egypt and sat down by a well where the daughters of the priest Reuel had come for water. They were trying to water their flocks but were driven away by shepherds.  Moses intervened and helped the sisters.  When Reuel heard about this, he asked Moses to come to dinner.  The rest is history.  Moses quit wandering, settled down and married Reuel's daughter.  Moses didn't have anywhere to go.  He had killed a man in Egypt and Pharaoh had 'put a price on his head'.

Back in Egypt, God's people were in agony.  God heard their cries, remembered his covenant with Abraham to make of his linage a people and give them a land.  So who does God turn to?  A fugitive, a man who had gone from being a prince to being a sheepherder.  From wealth to poverty.  From somebody to nobody.  Moses.

And here are the verses that mean something special to me:  Exodus 3: 2-4 "And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and bush was not consumed.  And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.  And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses.  And he said, Here am I."

This is what I love about this passage.  When God wants to reach someone, any old bush will do.  It wasn't the bush that was important.  It wasn't the fire.  It was God.  And God knew Moses' name.

When God has a plan, any old bush will do.  Even you.  Even me.  He can use us to reach others.

Keep on burning.
