Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Acts 7:30-35

30After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
31When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight. As he approached to look more closely, the voice of the Lord came to him:
32‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’ Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.
33Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
34I have indeed seen the oppression of My people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.’
35This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
