Read
Read Exodus 3:1-6 aloud.  Here is a link to that reading in an online bible:

Think
Moses is shepherding his father-in-law’s sheep.  In the distance he sees a bush in flames, but the bush m ysteriously doesn’t burn up.  He walks closer, perhaps expecting a miracle, only to have a more unique encounter than he ever imagined.  He interacts with the living God.

When have you experienced a unique encounter with the living God? What was your burning bush like?

What do you think God meant when he said, “Remover your sandals from your feet.  You’re standing on holy ground?”

God is holy.  What difference does that make in your life?

Pray
Ask God to reveal himself to you today in a fresh way, a way that he has never revealed himself before.

Live
Moses heard from God when he paid attention.  Like Moses, we often encounter God when we pay attention to what’s going on around us.  Find a quiet place and spend a few moments in utter silence, paying attention to those aspects of your life that you often neglect: people, situations, quiet moments, creation and so on.  As you do this, look for God waiting there to interact with you.
