(writer's note: this post is a part of a series called "Burning" that examines the Biblical account of Moses & the burning bush and how this account is a blueprint for restoring this nation).
Exodus 3:4 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." 5 "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground."
Blueprint:
1) [re]Connect
In the verses above, we find that God communicated with Moses. Moses answered him by saying, "here I am". The Creator of the universe communicates with us all the time. A rainbow in the sky signifies that He will not flood the Earth again. The sunrise in the morning tells us that He controls the sky. And sometimes, a feeling to do an act of kindness towards someone enters your mind and doesn't leave. Like Moses, are you listening to God? Are you speaking with him? Do you 'take off your sandals' and bow down before Him? Do you stand in His presence? Do you seek His advice and guidance?
God wants a relationship with us. He is a loving God. He loved Moses. Before God asked Moses to lead His people from bondage, God first had a conversation with him. It was during this conversation that God informed Moses of his task.
Restoration of this nation - whatever that looks like in your mind - does not start by you going to a political rally, getting involved in party politics, listening to talk radio, writing letters to the editor or speaking your mind to any one who will listen. Restoration begins by you restoring a connection with God, a [re]Connection if you will. Whatever it takes for you to either strengthen your connection with God or to reconnect with Him -- do it. Stand in His Truth. Speak with Him daily. Make yourself right with God. Go to church. Read a Christian blog. Confess sins in your life. Repent.
Do what Moses did. Go to Him. He wants to have a relationship with you. And, most importantly, He wants to help.

- Believe that for a restoration to occur, a [re]Connection must take place first.
- Act by having a conversation with God - today.
- Serve God, then your family then your neighbors
