Bow many yesrs are' often rsss ml o'er Id silence. an In tbe life of Elijah, of whom we know nothing till we aee htm standing before Absb, and Jobs 'tbe Biiptlat, of whom we know nothing from bla birth to his call to aerrlce. and tbeae forty yea re of Moms' shep herd life. There came ? day toward tbe close of these forty years when Moses, baring led tbe flock to tbe back sld*--ot the desert even to Horeb. the mountain of Odd. saw something un usual, even a bush burning, but not consumed. As lie turned aside to see why tbe busb was not consumed God called onto him out of tbe midst of tbe busb and said, "Moses, Moses. " If Moms bsd not turned aside to see tlu# gnat sight be might perbape bave mljMd the call, if we would prayer Jolly Consider every unusual thing that comes unto our lives wo might boar tho voice of God more often than W6 do. Note how Moses In his old age ?peaks of "the good will of Him that dwslt In the bush" (Dent xxxlU, 16) Stephen Id bis sermon refers twice to the angel of the Lord which appeared to Moses in the bush (Acts vll. 80. 85). When Moses replied to the voice of Him that spake, saying "Here am I" or "Behold me." he was told that It was the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and tbe God of Jacob who was speaking to him. and be was told be fore tbe Interview ended that this was His memorial name, forever Unto all generations rverses 0, 15. 16; lv, 5). The Lord Jesus referred to this Inci dent at tbe busb In His reply to the Sadducees and used the same three fold name (Luke xil. 26. 27). The Lord after telling Moses who He was that spake to him then gave Moses to un derstand that It was none of his affair as to bow It was to he done: he must pnt off bis shoes, for It was a holy place, the presence of Cod. and He was to be tbe doer of It all. Joshua had tbe same orders as he was about to lead Israel Into the promised Inn,-! (Josh, v, 15). The k?y to the meauiw.* it -'shod feet Is found to Deut xl. 2i i. 3 In that llgtit consider Isa. Iv.... 13. nnd lay It to heart While considering the name of Illm wbo talked with Moses wo might notice that other wondrous name given In reply to Moses' question. "I am that I am." or simply "I am" (verses 13. 14). In tbe New Testament where we read His statement "I am be," you will notice tbe word "he" Is In Italics, so that He said simply "1 am," as in John viU, 24; xvlli, 6, and then He often -added a name such as I am the door: lam tbe way. the truth, tbe life: I am tbe good shepherd; I am the Son of God. and many others In the book of Revelation. Having told Moses wbo He was. He then told blm His purpose: I bave seen. I have beard, I know, I am come down to deliver and to bring them up unto a good land iverses 7, 8). He asked neither advice nor help from Moses: but, having declared His purpose. He pnt before blnr a great offer In tbe words. "Come now, therefore, and I will send tbee unto Pharaoh, that thou may est bring forth My people, the chil dren of Israel, out of Egypt" (verse 10). Notwithstanding God's revelation of Himself Moses did not grasp It, but began his objections and assertions of Incompetence In such words ss "Who am I that I should go?" "O my Lord. I am not eloquent ? ? ? I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue" (ill. 11; It, 10). How patient and graciously the Lord dealt with him. saying: "Certainly I will be with thee; ? ? ? I have sent thee." "1 will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou abalt gay" (111. 12; It, 12). When he waa told to gather the elders of Israel and lay before them the Lord's purpose and waa as cured that they would hear him and waa then told what be and they should say to Pharaoh he again objected, say ing, 'They will not believe me nor hearken unto my voice, for they will say the Lord bath not appeared onto thee" (ill. 16-18; lv, 1). Then he was given three signs, the rod and aerpent the leprous hand and the water turned to blood, each full of significance and bearing directly on the case. When be persisted in instating that he could not speak hla brother Aaron waa given to blm to be hla apokeeman or prophet nnd the Lord aaid. "I know that be can speak well. ? ? ? and thou abalt apeak unto blm and put words tn hla mouth (lv, 14-16; vll, 1). Truly Be la the Qod of patience, and we need to live in and be filled with the love of Qod and the patience of Christ (Rom XV, 5: II Tbees 111. A, margin*. The Lord knew well the beartN>f Pharaoh and that he would need sore Judgments to humiliate him. but He would be pa tient even with him and bring larael out with great spoil, even that which belonged to them (111. 19-221. They did not borrow but asked or demanded (verse 22. R V.I. Note In lv. 22, th?t the Lord calls Is rael Hla ?oo,_ His firstborn, and, His firstborn being oppressed, the first born of Egypt must suffer If there la no repentance.
