Exodus 3:1-10 1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight why the bush does not burn up.” 4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” 5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. 7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” 1 Samantala, habang nagpapastol si Moises ng kawan ng biyenan niyang si Jetro na pari sa Midian, itinawid niya ang kawan sa gawing kanluran ng disyerto at nakarating siya sa Sinai, ang Bundok ng Diyos. 2 Doon, ang anghel ni Yahweh ay nagpakita sa kanya na parang apoy na nagmumula sa gitna ng isang mababang punongkahoy. Kitang-kita ni Moises na nagliliyab ang puno ngunit hindi nasusunog. 3 Kaya't nasabi niya sa kanyang sarili, “Nakakapagtaka naman ito! Titingnan ko ngang mabuti kung bakit hindi iyon natutupok gayong nagliliyab.” 4 Nang lalapit na si Moises, tinawag siya ni Yahweh buhat sa nagliliyab na punongkahoy, “Moises, Moises.” “Ano po iyon?” sagot niya. 5 Sinabi ng Diyos, “Huwag kang lumapit. Hubarin mo ang iyong sandalyas sapagkat banal na lugar ang kinatatayuan mo. 6 Ako ang Diyos na sinamba ng iyong mga ninuno, ang Diyos ni Abraham, ni Isaac at ni Jacob.” Tinakpan ni Moises ang kanyang mukha sapagkat natatakot siyang tumingin sa Diyos. 7 Sinabi sa kanya ni Yahweh, “Nakita kong labis na pinahihirapan ng mga Egipcio ang aking bayan. Alam ko ang hirap na kanilang tinitiis at narinig ko ang kanilang pagdaing. 8 Kaya't bumabâ ako upang sila'y iligtas, ilabas sa Egipto at ihatid sa lupaing mainam, malawak, mayaman, at sagana sa lahat ng bagay. Ito'y ang lupain ng mga Cananeo, Heteo, Amoreo, Perezeo, Hivita at Jebuseo. 9 Naririnig ko nga ang pagdaing ng aking bayan at nakikita ko ang pang-aaping ginagawa sa kanila ng mga Egipcio. 10 Kaya't papupuntahin kita sa Faraon upang ilabas mo sa Egipto ang aking bayang Israel.” GOD always works in progression 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” Go Action

Out of Egypt This morning let us learn more on how God works in progression. 1. Gods order is always recognized by a sign and preparation. Exodus 3:1-3 1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight why the bush does not burn up.” 1 Samantala, habang nagpapastol si Moises ng kawan ng biyenan niyang si Jetro na pari sa Midian, itinawid niya ang kawan sa gawing kanluran ng disyerto at nakarating siya sa Sinai, ang Bundok ng Diyos. 2 Doon, ang anghel ni Yahweh ay nagpakita sa kanya na parang apoy na nagmumula sa gitna ng isang mababang punongkahoy. Kitang-kita ni Moises na nagliliyab ang puno ngunit hindi nasusunog. 3 Kaya't nasabi niya sa kanyang sarili, “Nakakapagtaka naman ito! Titingnan ko ngang mabuti kung bakit hindi iyon natutupok gayong nagliliyab.” 2. Gods order is with instructions and warning. Exodus 3:4-7 4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” 5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. 7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 4 Nang lalapit na si Moises, tinawag siya ni Yahweh buhat sa nagliliyab na punongkahoy, “Moises, Moises.” “Ano po iyon?” sagot niya. 5 Sinabi ng Diyos, “Huwag kang lumapit.

Alam ko ang hirap na kanilang tinitiis at narinig ko ang kanilang pagdaing. 3. Gods order is detailed and specific. Exodus 3:8-9 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 8 Kaya't bumabâ ako upang sila'y iligtas, ilabas sa Egipto at ihatid sa lupaing mainam, malawak, mayaman, at sagana sa lahat ng bagay. Ito'y ang lupain ng mga Cananeo, Heteo, Amoreo, Perezeo, Hivita at Jebuseo. 9 Naririnig ko nga ang pagdaing ng aking bayan at nakikita ko ang pang-aaping ginagawa sa kanila ng mga Egipcio. 10 Kaya't papupuntahin kita sa Faraon upang ilabas mo sa Egipto ang aking bayang Israel.” As a Christian and a follower of God, working in progress be always our ways in serving nd glorifying God. How? • To be always ready to do your assign task or ministry. 2. To clarify in every plan and schedule. 3. To be sure that we are working for God not me.
