Day 6

“Day 6 – Yes, LORD, I am available and ready to listen!

Exodus 3:4 – When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see,God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”

Moses was 80 years old when God drew him into His service. Our Sovereign Lord used every detail of those 80 years to prepare Moses for this divine moment of surrender. “Here I am” is a dangerous prayer. It is an “appropriate response to an effectual call of God. It is a cry of faith. It is that initial moment of surrender that led Moses to

grapple with God when he understood the enormity of God’s call.

Like many leaders, Moses quickly realized that God was calling him to do something way beyond his perceived abilities. When you read Moses’

interaction with the Lord in Exodus 3:5–4:17, you see how the Lord carefully, gently, and directly dealt with Moses’ objections. Moses ultimately stepped out in faith (Exodus 4:20)—and

the rest is history.

When we look back on Moses’ life we see he was prepared for this moment because his life was marked with faith (see Hebrews 11:23-28). Day-to-day faith prepares us for big moments of faith. These life-altering moments are the ones that put us dangerously right in the midst of God’s mission.
