“And Moses went up to God. God called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob and declare to the children of Israel:” (Exodus 19:3) “Its meaning is, and the Lord had already called him. For Moses would not have ascended without permission.” (Ibn Ezra)
We need to take the initiative in our lives. Some will wait to be asked and some even after they are asked will still wait for further encouragement. Some will wait for a sign, while others will see the sign and deny its importance. Moses sets for us an example of being proactive in our lives. Sometimes we must reject paralysis by analysis and decide doing nothing is not an option. Now all you have to do is decide in which areas of your life you need to act.
