What Moses experienced at the burning bush teaches us about God and
the way of his salvation. It is also a great encouragement to prayer. The
God who promised to come down and save the Israelites has the power to
save us. All we need to do is cry out to him for deliverance.
In his sermon on this text, Charles Spurgeon pleaded with his congregation: "Sinner, tell
God your misery even now, and he will hear your story. He is willing to listen,
even to that sad and wretched tale of yours about your multiplied transgressions,
your hardness of heart, your rejections of Christ. Tell him all, for
he will hear it. Tell him what it is you want, — what large mercy, — what
great forgiveness; just lay your whole case before him. Do not hesitate for a
single moment; he will hear it, he will be attentive to the voice of your
cry."
If we open our hearts to offer such a prayer, the same God who met
Moses at the burning bush — the holy God of glory, the God who has entered
into a loving, personal relationship with his people through Jesus Christ —
will come down and save us.
