“When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’ And Moses said, ‘Here I am’” (Exodus 3:4).

I wonder what the voice of the Lord sounded like. Was it a deep bass voice, with a little reverberation? Did God have an British accent? Was He loud or soft spoken? I’ve never heard the audible voice of God before. My only reference point is the voice that spoke to Charleston Heston in The Ten Commandments. But I do wonder what God’s audible voice would sound like.

I observe that God didn’t speak until He saw that Moses turned aside to check out the mystery God had set up for him. Have you turned aside from your busy schedule lately to listen to the voice of God? He likely won’t speak to you until you turn aside from your busyness.

And when God did speak, He called Moses by name. Twice! God knows your name and everything it represents. When He gets your attention, don’t be afraid to say, “Here I am”.
