One step at a time

Having fled Egypt, Moses is now a shepherd. He encounters God through the burning bush, and God urges him to take up a new role –  freeing the Israelites from Egyptian oppression. Moses feels unready for the task ahead but is assured that the great I AM will be with him every step of the way.

Moses’ story shows us we can move one step at a time to accomplish amazing things. Do we know what God is inviting us to step into? And that God is with us as we go?
