#LetYourLightShine
“Because in the end, Moses, we are simply to serve as people who let God's light shine through to the glory of god in Christ. And so this week, when you feel like you're not enough, when you worry about whether you fit, if you find yourself worried that you're not measuring up or that you gotta do something for God, Remember God's moment with Moses. For there on the far side, God invites you to place your trust in him, to find your rest in him to his glory.”

#TrustInGod
“And so when Moses asked, who am I? God challenges Moses play... Where Moses places his trust. see, for Moses, he wants to place his trust in himself. Who am I? But our trust can't be in me or mine or us or ours. No. The trust is only safe when it's placed in the god who will be with you.”

#GodIsEverywhere
“Now it's worth pausing to point out that here, god chooses to show up not in a temple, not at a religious site. He doesn't come to a holy place. God doesn't show up to a priest or to a prophet. No. God shows up to an 80 year old man shepherding sheep at the far side of the wilderness on Mount Wasteland.”
