God Still Speaks

Our text for today is Exodus 3:4:

When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from within the bush, “Moses, Moses!” “Here I am,” he answered.

You may recognize this as the moment Moses encountered the burning bush. He drew near, and God called out to him. Moses responded simply, “Here I am.”

In my years of counseling, I’ve come to realize that this is the kind of moment most people long for. When life becomes overwhelming and we don’t know what to do, we often wish for a burning bush—a clear sign, a direct conversation with God to tell us what steps to take.

Though God may not speak to us through a literal burning bush today, He does still speak. He speaks through His Word, the Bible.

If you haven’t spent time as a counselor, you might think that every life problem is unique. The truth is, most struggles are not. Just as a successful person learns from those who have succeeded before them, those facing challenges often follow similar patterns of others who have struggled before.

Through our own “burning bush”—the Bible—God provides us with wisdom and guidance for what to do. In the coming days, I will discuss specific issues that many of us struggle with, and I will share verses from the Bible that offer insight and comfort for each one.

We will explore topics like love, loneliness, self-esteem, and more. Tomorrow, we will begin with the subject of depression, focusing on a powerful verse that brings comfort in tough times.

I’m Lonnie Davis. I look forward to continuing this journey with you tomorrow.
