Holy Ground
First in a Devotional Series dealing with a Sacred Text
“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals,
for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
--Part of a conversation between God and Moses
Recorded in Exodus, 3:5
Good morning! Seven years ago I did my first “Holy Ground” series of devotionals. I bring back the theme this year, using recent experiences. I invite you to journey with a variety of people this month who are having experiences similar to those of Moses.
I met a new friend at the door and strolled with them through the corridors. I wanted them to get acquainted with the personality of our hospital, to give them a feel for what we mean when we say we “treat people better.” In the quarter of a mile walk we were greeted with genuine interest a number of times; my new friend commented that he'd never been in a place so spotless. It felt good to be on my daily turf and have a new observer be so impressed. Sort of confirmed my feeling that I'm privileged to work on some Holy Ground.
A prayer: God who spoke to Moses, thank you for still speaking today!
