Today’s Scripture: When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Exodus 3:4 ESV
God gets our attention. God shows that He is with us. Like Moses, we have to decide to turn to look at His wonders. When God has our attention, He speaks.
What catches our attention requires our attention. Moses turned to see and answered the call. God then proceeded to give Him direction.
I am looking to God’s wonders and I pray I respond to Him with “here I am”. Stopping and turning to be with God I see His wonders and hear His voice. God hears our cries and assures us that He gives us what we need to complete the tasks He speaks to us. He can use us too to help deliver His people. We are not alone; He is with us, are we with Him?
Will you say, Here I am LORD?
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, thank You for getting my attention. Thank You for hearing my cries and for rescuing me. You have my attention LORD and I will go with You into the land You have given me. I know You are with me and I do not go empty handed but equipped with Your wonders. Here I am. Amen

Yes Lord, you have my attention. You alone are steadfast, You are my Rock and my Redeemer. Praise be to God!
Thanks Sheryl, He is with us and we can trust Him and follow His leading. Blessings as you follow what He speaks into you.
He is with us before we say “Here I am!” to Him and then stays when we walk away even after that! I was listening to the attached song while reading your post Tom. There are a myriad of ways he tells us He is with us…what a loving Abba! God’s blessings on you and yours! Cindy

Thank you Cindy, great to hear from you! Yes He is with us before we even turn aside to notice. I pray we turn our hearts to Him without ceasing. We can trust that He has gone before us, is with us and will be with us as we follow His leading. We can trust our God! Abundant blessings as you follow. Thanks as always for your musical accompaniment. He is with us, always.

Hi Tom: He has called me to do many things and boy, He was there before I even arrived! He’s always faithful to give us what we need. My book, “Laying Down my Net-A Walk of Faith” is a autobiographical testimony to that. When we say, “Here I am Lord” we better mean it. 🙂
Thank you Sue for sharing. I am going to purchase your book as I would love to read it!! I look forward to reading your testimony. Yes, we better mean it and trust Him through it. Blessings and faith.
Thank you so much Tom. I didn’t always go with a smile plastered on my face either. lol I hope you enjoy my testimony.
Ha, I am with you Sue, kicking and screaming at times we come to the place He desires:) Blessings and availability!
I love this, Tom because God is always there waiting for me to catch up to Him!
Thanks Debby, it hit me that the scripture says Moses “turned aside” to notice the burning bush. I am praying we turn aside from the hustle and bustle to see God and to make ourselves available to Him. Blessings and turning.
Amen Tom! Taking that step of faith and saying here I am! God bless you !
Thanks Deb, let’s just jump in and lay it all out there. Here I am LORD! Blessings and presence.
