Holy Ground—Day 39
KEY TAKEAWAY: The purpose of prayer is not to give orders to God; the purpose is to get orders from God.
“Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. Then the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire within a bush. As Moses looked, he saw that the bush was on fire but was not consumed. So Moses thought: I must go over and look at this remarkable sight. Why isn’t the bush burning up? When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from the bush, “Moses, Moses! ” “Here I am,” he answered. “Do not come closer,” He said. “Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.””

1. Where was Moses when God called him? What was the significance of God’s instruction to Moses to remove his sandals?
2. Moses had led a routine existence for 40 years when God called him. How have you seen God break in and intercept your daily routine since you started this challenge?
3. How do you view your time with God as holy ground? What boundaries have you put in place to continually protect this divine appointment with God?
