When God Calls, Everything Changes

🗓️ Week 2 – Sabbath (July 5)

When God Calls, Everything Changes
(Based on Exodus 3:1–22)

Sometimes God shows up in ways you can’t ignore.

For Moses, it was a bush on fire that wouldn’t burn up — a phenomenon so out of place that he had to stop what he was doing just to look. That moment marked the beginning of a divine mission. And from that moment forward, nothing would be the same.

“I have surely seen the oppression of My people… I have heard their cry… I know their sorrows… So I have come down to deliver them.”
— Exodus 3:7–8 (NKJV)

God didn’t just see the pain of His people — He acted. And in His plan, He chose Moses to lead the rescue. But Moses wasn’t exactly excited about it.

🔥 A Holy Disruption

Maybe you’ve had moments when life was going one way… and then God interrupted.

Moses had settled into a quiet shepherd’s life in Midian. His royal past in Egypt was behind him. His future? Predictable. Safe. Simple.

And then the bush burned.

God called his name and gave him a mission that would shake kingdoms.

😬 Reluctant? You’re Not Alone

Moses didn’t jump into the call with bold confidence. In fact, this week’s story will show us just how unwilling he was at first.

• “Who am I to do this?”

• “What if they don’t believe me?”

• “I’m not a good speaker.”

• “Can’t You send someone else?”

Sound familiar?

God’s call doesn’t always arrive with applause. It often comes with tension, uncertainty, and fear. But here’s the truth: God’s direction is always better than ours — even when it takes us out of our comfort zone.

✨ This Week’s Theme

We’ll walk with Moses this week as he:

• Encounters God in the desert

• Questions his own ability

• Wrestles with fear

• Learns that obedience > confidence

You may have your own burning bush moment. Maybe you’ve already had one.

The question is:
Will you answer when God calls — even if it disrupts your plans?
