The Burning Bush: An Advent Study

Posted by Lisa Laree to Beer Lahai Roi

I've been pondering the approaching Advent season, wondering what approach I'd like to take in reflecting on the season.

If you've been around here long, you know I tend to be somewhat... unconventional... in my Advent musings.

This year turned out to be no different.  The refrain that I heard repeated in my spirit when I considered Advent was  ...I have seen, I have heard, I am concerned, I have come.

 Of course, this is from Moses' encounter with God in Exodus chapter 3:

The LORD said, 'I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt, I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.  So I have come down to rescue them...'  Ex. 3: 7 - 8a, NIV84

That is a nice little four part statement, worth exploring for the four Fridays of Advent.

Dec 1 - I have seen
Dec 8 - I have heard
Dec 15 - I am concerned
Dec 22 - I have come

Dunno how deep or how profound this will end up, but then, that's the fun of it.
