MEDITATION
Exodus 3:4-6
4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”
5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”
6 Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

沉思
《出埃及记 3:4-6》
4耶和华神见他过去要看,就从荆棘里呼叫说:“摩西!摩西!”他说:“我在这里。”
5神说:“不要近前来。当把你脚上的鞋脱下来,因为你所站之地是圣地。”6又说:“我是你父亲的神,是亚伯拉罕的神、以撒的神、雅各的神。”摩西蒙上脸,因为怕看神。
