3:3,4
So Moses goes to see what is going on. God sees that Moses is approaching and calls out to him, “Here I am”. We think that God is far off, that being distant from God, or God being distant from us, is the normal state of affairs. As a result of the fall, it sadly is the normal state of affairs, it is the way things are because of our sin. We have both been cast out from God, and have run away from Him, wanting nothing to do with Him. However, it is not the way things are meant to be. We are meant to be in fellowship with God.
3:5
While God wants to see Moses, it is on His terms. There is a proper balance that we need to maintain in our attitude towards God. There is a closeness that we are meant to have. God is our Father, Jesus calls His disciples friends. At the same time He is holy, He is the creator and sustainer of all things, He is God. So Moses is commanded to take off his sandals, for He is standing on holy ground. The ground was not holy because of any religious significance, but because God was there.
