Moses at the Burning Bush- (Exodus 3:3-4:17)
Moses was in Horeb and saw a burning bush that did not burn up. So he walked toward the bush to see it up close. God saw that Moses was starting to come near the bush. God told him not to get too close and to take off his shoes because it was holy ground. Then God told Moses that he had seen Israel's tough time in Egypt and had heard their cries. God said that He had come to deliver Israel from the Egyptians. God told Moses that he would send him to Pharaoh to bring His people out of Israel. Moses was worried that he was not able to bring Israel out of Egypt. God told Him not to worry because He would be with him. And Moses was worried that Israel would want to know God's name. God said: "I AM WHO I AM." Moses was to tell them: "I AM has sent me to you." ........

More than a monologue,I studied,our expressions of petition and praise constitute a genuine communication with God, and the answers we receive can bring about real changes in our life, I believe. Thank you, Father, for putting your pictures on the Net, for this helps people like me who may not be able to buy such prayerful paintings and who have no place of their own to keep them even if they buy. I am able to sit at the cybercafe and watch your paintings at all your netsites meditatively, and like Moses in this lovely painting I do get guidance from God in my prayer, I feel so calm and clear, thank you, Father. May i suggest that you add a few words to all other paintings too for help to people like me who may not be very familiar with Scripture references.Pray for me, thank you.
