What made the ground holy? The presence of God. In a similar way, the Scripture calls us a holy people. What makes us holy? The very same presence. The God who took an ordinary bush and transformed it into a place of destiny for Moses can take our lives and transform us into a people of destiny for many. Through Jesus Christ, you and I ARE the holy ground of God. For those who understand this, a fire begins to burn in our souls.
