Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – February 20, 2025 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) Exodus 3:5 – And He said, “Do not come any closer: take off your shoes from off your feet, for the place whereon you stand is holy ground.” Ascension to Holiness: The Effects of the Encounter With the appearance of God in a fiery flame came a new revelation of the holiness of God. The glory of His Presence caused everything encountering it to be holy – including the ground. Unlike the Seraphim, who must cover their feet before the Presence of the Lord, Moses was commanded to uncover his feet. The Lord said, “Take your shoes off because you are standing on holy ground,” a ground made holy because the Holy God was there. When his shoes came off, his feet came into direct contact with God’s holiness. His feet would now carry the message of this great encounter to the people of Israel, and the nations of the world would tremble at the Presence of the Lord. As Moses’ feet touched the holiness of God, every part of His flesh and being began to be filled with the power of the Almighty. His feet were endued with the holiness of God to tread down the nations. His feet would carry his encounter with the holiness of God into the darkness of an evil nation, the Light would confront the darkness, and the holiness of God would confront the iniquity of the people. He would go from that place and stand before the greatest kings and nation on Earth – and wield the sword of God’s holiness. The demonstration of God’s holiness through Moses would shake the land of Egypt, and cause it to crumble by the voice of God speaking through one man. The touch of His presence and the revelation of the mighty Name, Yehovah of Armies, would change a man from someone of mere mortal flesh to the one endued with power from on High (Exodus 7:1-7, 14:31, 15:1-18).
