God calls Moses: Afraid to look at God

Psalm 34:4

⁴ I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

(Teaching from my book: Path of the Preacher)

Exodus 3:4-6

⁴ When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”

⁵ “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” ⁶ Then he said, “I am the God of your father,^[a] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
