Ex 3:1-5 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 2 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Do you ever wonder why it is that so few Christians today seem to be standing on holy ground? What was once perhaps a common thing is now a very rare occurrence. So many today stand in the world and not on holy ground? Why is that? I think because so few today are willing to turn aside to the Lord. Moses was willing to turn aside and see, turn aside and see God, turn aside and stand with God, turn aside and stand on holy ground. But what do people, what turns Christians today? Turn to the world, to sports, to the TV, to the Internet, to music, turn aside to anything but God. Christians will go to church on Sunday but even then they have a mind looking to getting out of the service instead of one turning to God. Are you standing on holy ground today? Where have you turned?
