Hi Kyle and Pam (and anyone else who reads this. I went and looked up Exodus 3, and this statement is right in the middle of Moses going back and forth with God about whether he is the right man for the job to which God is calling him. Thus, it seems God has confirmed to Moses who He is and that He is calling Moses to this task in His power (i.e.: verses 6 and 10: "Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God." and
"So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt."). The delayed sign is a further confirmation, perhaps out of God's grace and patience with us (we have stiff necks and slower minds than does He).
Pam's comments on being in France and God wanting faithfulness in the small things...I felt tat way in Dallas. I was never sure if there was some big calling for me to be there, but felt that God had a path for my life and numerous vocational options were on that path, and that He wanted me to be faithful in loving and seeking Him and loving others above all...these were essential to His heart, regardless of the exact position I took. I did feel called specifically to go to Calvin, but other temporal position choices I have taken have felt more open...
Thoughts?
