TOPIC: TURN AND SEE
TEXT: EXODUS 3:3-10
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.
MEMORY VERSE: “And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.” (EXODUS 3:3)
MESSAGE:
It is what we are interested in that we like to see. The eyes, they say are the door to your soul. Moses saw what God wanted him to see. He saw the bush burning, but not consumed. He received a message from God for God’s glory and for God’s suffering people.
When we see what God wants us to see we will be a blessing to others and show forth God’s glory. There are many things and many people that want you to see them, but it is very important to exercise strong control over your eyes and be very carefulabout what you love to see.

However, we do not so much see the things of the spirit with our eyes but with our hearts; by what we desire. Desire the word of God, the glory of His name. Desire the good of God’s people. Desire salvation of your soul and righteousness and desire heaven. Pursue your desires until the will of God is done in your life. So, you should be interested to see the cross of Jesus. See Him nailed there for you. See Him standing by the door of your heart, knocking.
See His arms wide open to receive and forgive your sins. Let what you see about Jesus teach your heart to love and obey Him always.

PRAYER FOR TODAY: Lord, open my eyes to see your glory and teach me to love you and your people more.
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)
