Oh what a lovely tree

Moses was walking along one day, minding his own business, playing chess with the sheep, whatever. he was walking along and boom he saw this bush on fire, it probably took him a while to realise it wasn’t being consumed or going all charred and black. It was God. It took him a while to figure that out too. Maybe there were warning signs, maybe he remembered his upbringing, maybe he remembered the God of the Hebrews, maybe he remembered the gods of the Egyptians. But there he was standing in front of this bush and God speaks, and God rips the very fabric of his life apart. He wakes him up, shakes him a lot and lets Moses know that He is God, the I Am, the everything.

I think we can and should have Moses experiences, I think maybe God expects it. Moses could have walked past and thought :“Oh, what a lovely tree,” and went on his way but he stopped and was curious. How many of us don’t stop, how many of us sit in our own little Christian cloud and think we’re there or are maybe afraid of where we could end up?

I think maybe that’s where I’m at, the point where I either walk past the burning bush or I stop and walk towards it. This moment for Moses changed the history of nations and thousands of people’s lives. This one man was used by God to rip it up.

I’m certain God has been using me and got me to this point but now I have to move to God and listen and have the guts to face things with God. It’s simple but it’s earth shattering. Are you ready to walk to God and talk with Him when the time is right? Or are you ignoring him?
