Called to Influence

September 15, 2024 • Chris Green • Exodus 3, Exodus 4:1–3, Isaiah 6:8

Today we are challenged to recognize that God consistently works through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. The story of Moses and the burning bush reminds us that age, background, or perceived inadequacies don't disqualify us from God's purposes. Instead, it's our willingness to 'turn aside' and make ourselves available that matters. When we say, 'Here I am, Lord,' we open ourselves to a transformative journey. The simple staff in Moses' hand became a powerful tool in God's plan, teaching us that what we have right now - our skills, resources, or even our limitations - can be used mightily when surrendered to God. This message urges us to stop being passive and embrace the adventure of following Christ, knowing that His presence goes with us always.
