"I AM"

And Moses said, "I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned." When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." Then he said, "Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground" (Exodus 3:3-5).

When Moses encountered God while herding his sheep, it wasn't because he was looking for God. No, God tracked down him and had to put on quite a show with an inflamed, non-burning bush to get Moses' attention...to bring him to a place of worship. Sometimes, God has to do the same with us when school, work, family, obscure and drown out His voice and presence. 

Just because we're "Christians" doesn't mean we're always aware of/sensitive to God's presence. How many times have we looked back on a situation and said, "Wow. God was all in that." To "come into His presence" is not to say that He wasn't where you previously were and you've just now stepped into it. It's simply our coming to the realization that God is already here in our midst. Only then can we lend an ear to His voice and begin to worship Him. 

Just as He did with Moses, when you're least expecting it, God will show up in your day and call you to worship. Will you see it as an interruption to your oh-so-important schedule or an opportunity to encounter God in an unlikely place? Will you stop and say, "Here I am!" as Moses did? When He seeks out your attention, He wants to remind you that He is in your midst and that you are on holy ground. For where He is...it's holy. It's time to worship.
