Imagine Moses, the iconic leader of Israel, feeling like a complete nobody.

Yes, even Moses struggled with insecurities.

In fact, he was broken, flawed, and lonely. And yet God called upon Moses to become the leader of his people.

Today, on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall describes the inflection point when everything changed for Moses.

God spoke to him in an audible voice from a burning bush.

It's a sensational story that had profound implications for Moses and practical application for us all.

Chuck titled his message, Burning Bushes and Second Chances.

Let's turn in our Bibles to Exodus chapter 3. As we continue in our study of the life of Moses,

there is a 19th century proverb which has come down the pike

and fallen into our ears on a number of occasions, the problem

with it is that it is not true, even though it is often quoted, the bird with the broken

pinion never soars as high again.

Have you ever heard that?

It says in effect that once you have failed,

you will never, ever attain any higher heights than you did at the time you failed.

I did a little study on that proverb and found that it was written by a fellow named

Hezekiah Butterworth.

No kidding.

And that's all I know about him and that's all I want to know about him.

A guy with a name like that ought to write a saying like that.

It really isn't true. Stop and think. A guy with a name like that ought to write a saying like that.

It really isn't true.
