SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

September 6

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Exodus 3:1-10

The ground beneath your feet can become the launching pad for a future bigger than the life you planned. In Exodus 3:1–10 (KJV), Moses turns aside from his routine, encounters God in the burning bush, and discovers that Holy Ground is where attention becomes revelation and revelation becomes assignment. To live High And Lifted Up is to sit with what God is showing you until you recognize that your experiences may have been preparing you for what comes next. For Black people and our communities, holy ground has often appeared in unlikely places where ordinary people discovered extraordinary courage to confront oppression and create pathways toward freedom. Dream Big, because the ground you are standing on may be the launching pad for something greater. Decide To Become attentive enough to turn aside and courageous enough to answer when purpose calls your name. Demonstrate Your Power by putting your hands to the assignment and using your becoming to help somebody else get free.
