Moses

Sierra and I were in town this evening and on the way home we were listening to some Bible stories. One of the stories was about Moses and the burning bush. What I found interesting was how he continued to argue with God while looking at a burning bush that would not burn. A miracle. Why did Moses not realize he could accomplish the thing God was asking him to do? Should it not have been obvious God would take care of him? Is this applicable to us today? Does God give us miracles we can use to remember or realize He is in control? I think so. Did Moses not recognize this incident as a miracle? Many times we don't recognize things as miracles. We like to say they just happened. Was this Moses problem? I doubt it, after all the bush talked Moses and told him to take off his sandals. Why is it so hard to follow God's leading when it is so obvious He will watch over us?

We are scared- I think. We would rather be in control and keep our world safe. We don't know if we are willing to go where He is calling. He might ask too much of us.
