O Adonai: Thursday, Exodus 3:1-8, 13-14
Play • 15 min

O Adonai, and leader of the house of Israel, 

who appeared to Moses in the fire of the burning bush, 

and gave him the law on Sinai: 

come and redeem us with an outstretched arm! 


Today’s reading: Exodus 3:1-8, 13-14


I wonder what it was like to see that bush, wreathed in dancing flames but still itself? Can I see anything about God in that picture?


I wonder if God’s people felt like God had forgotten them while they were trapped as slaves in Egypt? I wonder if they were waiting for God to come save them, or if they had given up? Does it ever feel like God has forgotten me? What do I want to say to God about that? 


Can I imagine myself, safe and warmed within the fire of God’s love that will never go out?


In Advent, we remember that we are like God’s people in Egypt: we need our God to come and save. What do I want to ask God to see and to rescue, right now?
