DCLM Higher Everyday 29 March 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — The Burning Bush
Topic: The Burning Bush
Text: Exodus 3:1-10
1Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
3And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
7And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Key Verse: “And he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed” (Exodus 3:2b).
Message
A Pharaoh that knew not Joseph ascended the throne in Egypt and unleashed terror on Israel. He decided to depopulate and enslave the Jews. Yet they multiplied. They cried to God. He heard them and appeared to Moses who was in exile, and gave him a mandate to deliver the Israelites from their afflictions. In our text, Moses saw a burning bush with the leaves not consumed. He went to investigate it, and the LORD appeared to him “in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush.”

Sometimes, we go through trials that are comparable to burning fire. We must remember God will come with deliverance if we can trust in His faithfulness. Remember, God identified with the three Hebrew young men in the fiery furnace and delivered them, leading to their elevation in the land of Babylon. God will show up in your situation to deliver and promote you. God will convert the enemies’ fiery fire to comfortable air conditioner for believers who trust in Him. The fire God permits us to pass through will lead to our elevation and His glory.
Quote: God will show up in your situation
Challenge: No fire of the devil can consume God’s child.
Prayer for today: Oh Lord, stand by me in tough times. Amen.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
