Exodus 3:5 “Do not come any closer,” the Lord warned. “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground. 6 I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” When Moses heard this, he covered his face because he was afraid to look at God.
Ok, let's look at the facts of this scenario:
1. Moses was an ordinary man that walked past the same bush pretty much every day
2. God presented Himself to Moses in this bush as it caught fire
3. God told Moses to take his sandals off because he was standing on holy ground
Now my question is: What makes this holy ground? Was the bush so expensive or popular? Were they standing on a gold mine? NO, NO and NO.....
The ground was holy because God was occupying it.
My theory is that wherever God is, it is holy ground.
By the way, does God live in your heart? If so, you are always walking around on HOLY GROUND.
This should dictate how we live. If God is in us and we are on holy ground it should make a difference in how we live, what we listen to, what we watch, what we say.
With a God this holy we certainly would not want to offend Him by making him put up with junk, dirt and trash that we humans are tempted to tolerate.
This should dictate how we worship. If God is going to LIVE in us and wherever His presence lives is holy groun, it makes sense to think that we should always be worshiping this holy Go.
-This is a tough one because many think that we can just pick and choose when we do what we call worship...go to church on Sunday.
-We stay home from worship on Sunday when we know that we would go to work on Monday with the same situations, thus bypassing this thing we call worship of a holy God.
-So, if religious people have such a hard time of getting to church on Sunday for an hour of worship, it must be hard to live in a spirit of worship each and every day.
Perhaps reading the words of this hymn will bring back some great memories of when you have allowed God's presence to live through you. Yes, when God is with you, it truly is holy ground!
IS THE GROUND THAT YOU WALK ON REALLY HOLY GROUND?

An important thought. Thanks.
