The Ten Commandments Moses And The Burning Bush.wmv
“Now Moses was pasturing the flock
of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the
west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
“The angel of the Lord appeared to
him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the
bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.
“So Moses said, ‘I must turn aside
now and see this marvellous sight, why the bush is not burned up.’ When the Lord saw that he turned aside to
look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ‘Moses, Moses!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’” Exodus
3:1-4
I started this series on consumed
from a sermon at church from Lamentations 3.
My pastor, Simon, entitled it “Not Consumed!”. I will let those of you who are curious read
that chapter for yourself and see why it is so important to those of us who have
been ‘saturated in grief’.
The rest of that Sunday I thought
about how generous my loving Heavenly Father has been with me, especially when
I feel I am drowning in memories of loss and regret, unsure, afraid or in
pain. No matter how intense the feeling
-- like that burning bush -- those feelings never consume me.
He is always right here to remind
me of His everlasting love for me. That
is the hidden message of Lamentations 3, you know … that there is always hope in
our grief when the Father is our Comforter.
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS
·
Doris
(my second Mom) - now
100 – is sleeping more now and growing harder than before to awaken. Pray for Patti, her daughter, as she remains
so faithful in sacrificing time and making the effort to always demonstrate God’s
love to her precious mother. Doris (and
her husband, Owen, now waiting in Heaven for her) both prayed faithfully to
bring me to the foot of the Cross.
·
Paul
–Has not had paying work since 2010.
Please pray for his ongoing resilience and that the Lord would allow him
to be successful with a role. I know the
Lord is watching over him because of your prayers. Most of all, pray his heart melts enough for
the Truth to touch him where it hurts.
Pray for my wisdom and patience as he continues to stay here.
·
USA
– that the Lord would demonstrate His power in an unexpected and uniting way
during these times of unrest and confusion.
Help hearts settle and rest in Him alone.
·
Sergio

He was recently diagnosed with adult-onset diabetes. Was living with his brother, but has been
asked to move out, leaving him homeless.

his high school studies needs your prayers for continued strength, focus and
confidence, especially with maths.
