Taking off our shoes


God instructed Moses to take off his shoes as a sign of awe, reverence and worship. This must have been humbling for Moses, but he wasn't going to argue with God. In truth, Moses was probably looking for some way to respond to the holiness of the moment - so if God was asking for 'no shoes', then Moses obeyed.

When last did you take off your shoes as a sign of awe, wonder and amazement?

Ah, but you are arguing that you have not seen God in the burning bush lately - which is true, but God has revealed his glory all around us! Perhaps we have been looking in the wrong places.

"Earth is crammed with heaven,
And every bush is aflame with God
But only those who see, take off their shoes."
- Elizabeth Browning

Sense God's Grace today.

Living in Grace,
