Glancing Through the Scriptures!

(KJV. EXODUS 3:1-7

The burning bush.

(1)  NOW MOSES kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led, the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

(2)  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of it bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

(3)  And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

(4)  And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses.  And he said, Here am I.

(5)  And he said,  Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

(6)  Moreover he said,  I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.  And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon 'God.

(7)  And the LORD said,  I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmaster; for I know their sorrows;

(8)  And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

ADDENDUM

God said to Moses:  'Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground."  If this generation wears shoes to worship God in the beauty of holiness:  are we really in his presence of holiness, whenever we appear before him inside the sanctuaries?
