One would think that Moses would be ready to do God’s bidding. He knew that his people were suffering. He knew that he had run away after killing an overseer. He knew that he had a price on his head in Egypt. But he knew that now he was a nobody. A shepherd. The kind of person that the Egyptians despised. He was no longer a prince of Egypt, the son of the daughter of Pharoah. I mean, really. He had been gone for forty years. He could just see the reaction of both the Israelites and the Egyptians. And he voiced it in three words, “Who am I?”

FIRE!!
Moses had to move the sheep from place to place to find grazing for them. So, here he is on the mountain, and he sees a fire. Fire probably wasn’t uncommon in the desolate desert where dried vegetation could spontaneously catch fire. But he looks at the fire and notices that there is something different. The bush is not burning. The leaves did not curl, nor did the branches break and fall off. It’s on fire but it is not burning.

MAN ON THE RUN
When we left Moses last time, he was a baby and was adopted by the daughter of Pharoah. A princess of the land. It follows that Moses was educated as a prince of Egypt. He was a trained warrior and a scholar. He probably knew several languages, the customs and traditions of several nations as well as how to run a province or even an entire country. He lived a life of privilege but at the same time he knew that he was not Egyptian by birth but a Hebrew.
