Exodus 3:4 (LSB) 4 And Yahweh saw that he turned aside to look, so God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”
It is impossible for a man or woman to have a true encounter with God and remain unchanged.
Many may claim to have had a God encounter. But if their life is not changed in some significant way, the encounter they claim to have had was not with the God known as Yahweh (YHWH).
For if it were, there would be no doubt about the authenticity of that encounter. And the evidence of it would be displayed in their life in some way.
It is possible that one may have a genuine encounter and not fully realize or understand the significance of that encounter until a later date. In these circumstances, the results of that encounter may not be evident until the time at which the person fully comprehends what happened.
Over the next several days we will examine various Biblical encounters with God and look at how those encounters played out in the lives of the men and women who experienced them.
As referenced in the verse above, Moses encountered God for the first time at the burning bush while tending the flocks of his father-in-law, Jethro, at Mount Horeb (the mountain of God).
Little did Moses know that his life would be forever changed by this encounter as God laid out for him what He had for him to do.
Based on what we can glean from scripture, Moses knew little or nothing of God prior to his burning bush experience.
But the life of Moses was already unique and had been touched by God at birth.
His mother rebelled against the Pharoah of Egypt, ignoring his command to have all newborn Hebrew boys killed at birth.
Exodus 1:15-16 (NKJV) 15 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; 16 and he said, “When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”
We will examine this more closely tomorrow. We hope you will join us!
