Exodus 2:23-3:15
INTRODUCTION
Who am I? Who is God?
I'm convinced that everyone, religious or not, is asking these two questions in some way or another.
''Who am I?'' and ''Who is God?''--These are the great questions of humanity.
These are the questions people tend to ask, when life is difficult.... When are backs are against the rope... When we are dissatisfied with how our lives are going... Or worried about how they will go.

[24] And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. [25] God saw the people of Israel-and God knew.
[3:1] Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

[3] And Moses said, ''I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.''
The story picks up, Moses is in the wilderness--''the west side of the wilderness.''
