When Jacob and his sons went to Egypt, there were 70 people counted among them. God was preserving them as a nation in Egypt and providing for them during a severe seven-year famine.

When we come to the book of Exodus, it’s 400 years later. They have grown from 70 to more than 2 million people. The favor which Pharaoh had shown when they first arrived in Egypt did not last. As other Pharaohs came to power, they became concerned of how Israel was growing so great in number. In fear, Pharaoh gave orders to enslave the Israelites and to make life difficult for them. But the more Israel suffered the more they grew in number.

God chose Moses to deliver the nation from the bondage of their slavery. Moses was a miracle baby. Pharaoh gave orders that every son who was born was to be thrown into the Nile, but Moses’ parents hid him in a wicker basket and set him amongst the reeds of the Nile River. They entrusted Moses to the mercy of God.

Pharaoh’s daughter found the baby Moses in the basket and decided to raise him as her own. Moses was raised in Pharaoh’s home with all the privilege and accoutrements of wealth and status. When Moses had grown to be a man, he saw the hard labor of the Hebrews and it troubled him.

One day he saw an Egyptian slave master beating a Hebrew. He looked this way and that, and when he saw no one, he struck down the Egyptian, killed him and hid him in the sand.

But the matter became known and when Pharaoh heard of it he tried to kill Moses, so Moses fled into the desert and came to the land of Midian. There he became a shepherd and stayed in the desert 40 years.

In Exodus 3, Moses had an encounter with God, but God has been working on him for more than forty years. It is here that we come to understand more of who God is and who God desires to be in our lives.

I. Let God be the Fire in Your Heart

 God appeared to Moses in a blazing fire. The bush was burning but was not consumed. Moses came closer to see how this could be, but there’s a message in it as well.
 Sometimes I see people who are bored with life, there’s no fire. If you are filled with the fire of godly passion, you will not be bored.
Romans 12:11, Never be lacking in zeal, but be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.
Illus – An organization I once knew was about to hire a leader and asked if I would interview this person and give an opinion. After I talked with him, I responded, “Here’s my concern, there’s no fire in the belly.”

A. God is a non-consuming fire

 When Israel was being led through the desert after they left Egypt, God used a pillar of fire to indicate His presence was there among them.
 God’s presence in our lives can be represented by a fire that burns within us.
