01. The Scene
Moses sees a burning bush. Curious, he approaches. God stops him: "Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." Moses hides his face.
"Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."
02. The Essence
Worship begins when curiosity ends and holy fear starts. Removing sandals is humility (skin touching dust). God is accessible but not common. Intimacy doesn't cancel majesty. Worship recognizes the infinite gap between Creator and creature.
03. My Voice
We lost the sense of the Sacred. We enter God's presence carelessly. The Altar invites us to stop, take off our "sandals" (status, hurry), and recognize: God is here. Reverence aligns the soul.
