As Moses walked toward Mount Sinai, he looked up seeking God. For about forty years now, he had tended sheep flocks for his father in law Jethro. He told Moses that with a little effort he could become a king of the Midianite nation. Moses told him no that he was just a simple shepherd. At the base of the high mountain, he found a good place to rest. He got onto his knees and pleaded to God. " Lord, remember your people in Egypt". He got up and continued to walk. As he started up the base of the mountain, something caught his eye. He walked up to what appeared to be a bush on fire.
" Moses! Moses!".
" Here I am" he replied as he trembled in fear.
" Do not come any closer" a voice exclaimed. " Take off your sandals for the place where you are standing is holy ground".
He took off his sandals as he kept trembling.
" I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob".
In fear, Moses fell onto his knees.
" I have seen the misery of my people in Egypt and I have heard their cry".
Moses could not believe what he was hearing.
