What does it mean to truly know God rather than simply know about Him? There is a famous story, told and retold across generations, about two friends who take very different paths in life. One becomes a celebrated orator, the other an obscure missionary. When both recite the 23rd Psalm before a crowd, the orator's performance is flawless and technically brilliant, yet it is the missionary's trembling recitation that leaves the room in stunned silence. The difference, as the orator himself admits, is this: one knows the psalm, the other knows the Shepherd. This distinction is the heartbeat of what we explore through the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3. Moses is eighty years into living entirely on his own terms, wandering not just in a wilderness but on the far backside of it, as far from God as a person can be. And yet God is already there, already present, already burning in a bush that is not consumed. That is the strange sight, and it has a name: grace. Grace is not something we generate from within ourselves or discover through reason or philosophy. It breaks in from the outside. It is revealed. The very fact that the bush burns without being destroyed, and that Moses himself is not consumed standing before a holy God, points to something extraordinary happening on his behalf. As we begin this journey through Scripture together, we are invited to ask ourselves whether we are content to know the psalm or whether we are hungry to know the Shepherd.
