Well hello friends...it's been awhile.
-For those of you who don't know, when I'm not singing or writing in my living room, I am singing and writing at my church. This is a post about that-

“Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes!" - I Samuel 12:16

OK...
Picture this:
A fugitive murderer is herding sheep in the desert...
Good start, huh?
While in the far reaches of the wilderness, he comes across a bush, burning with fire, but not being burnt- out of the bush, comes a Voice, and the Voice knows his name.
Moses!...Moses!
Here I am...
Take off your shoes. The place where you stand is Holy ground
Moses does so. The Voice speaks:
My people need rescuing. I want you to go to them.
Moses fights with the Voice:
Me? How could I possibly do this? Do you know who I am?
The Voice answers:
I will be with you...and I AM WHO I AM.
He is The Answer to the question we are all asking.
Why me? How can I possibly do this?
I AM WHO I AM...that's how.

Every once in a while, I show up on Sunday morning to sing, and I feel like I've just wandered in from the wilderness, and the Voice of God meets me there.
He says:
This is a sacred place. Can you feel it?
God wants to do amazing things with His people.
He wants us to experience Him. He wants us to hear His Voice,
and see His Hand moving in our lives...
Not once in a while...
not just on "Worship Nights"...
not just on Thursday night of camp...
Every time we are together.
What would have happened if Moses would have ignored the Voice in the desert? What if he hadn't followed the divine longing in his heart to see what made the bush burn the way it did?
Would God still have found a way to save His people?
Yes...but Moses wouldn't have been a part of it.
Is it possible that we are missing great things because our expectations are not high enough for what God wants to do with our Worship? Do you believe that the simple act of recognizing that you are standing on Holy ground can open up the door for the Voice of the LORD to speak?
Stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes!
Our Sunday gathering can be the place where God speaks to us and tells us of the great things He wants us to be a part of. Moses took off his shoes- he heard the Voice, and the Voice used his bare feet to change the world.
Are you listening? You are on Holy ground.
Take off your shoes.
