Burn For Me…

Posted on by admin

When the Lord saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God called to him from the middle of the burning bush, “Moses! Moses!”
Exodus 3:4

Have you ever tried to get someone’s attention? You might start off with a look or a wave. If that doesn’t work you may escalate it to calling out their name or whistling. If you really need to connect with that person, you’ll do whatever it takes to accomplish that aim. If you persist, you’ll eventually be successful.

Today’s verse shows the lengths God will go to get someone’s attention if needs be. Moses is intrigued by this burning bush and as he comes close God calls out to him. God now had Moses’s attention even if it took God setting something alight to do it. God was able to help Moses move forward into a great future. Moses could have easily ignored what was happening but because it fascinated him, he moved closer and he heard God speak.

God wants to move us forward in life towards a greater future. It took a burning bush for Moses, a bright light for Saul & a Juniper bush in the middle of nowhere for Elijah but each was able to hear from God and do great things. So, what is the burning bush in your life? What is God setting alight in your world to get your attention? 

This week let’s have a careful look around so we can discover the fascinating things that God is doing to get our attention. He wants us to draw closer to Him so He can have fellowship with us. Keep an ear out for Him so you can be a part of an amazing journey into the plans & purposes God has for you.

Conversations…

God called to him…
Moses said, “Yes? I’m right here!”
Exodus 3:4

A conversation is a 2 way street. Through conversation we exchange sentiments, observations, opinions & ideas. Without it we become uneasy, frustrated & distant from each other. Without conversation ideas easily evolve that are radical, unruly and wrongly focused. Conversation is God’s way of moving forward & building a better future.

Today’s verse is the start of Moses conversation with God. The bible records many people’s conversations with God including Samuel [1 Samuel 3] and Abraham [Genesis 18:22-26]. God conversations equip us to move forward & build a solid future His way rather than our own. God conversations result in future, hope & vision.

It’s easy to start a conversation with God or with anyone. It simply needs a “Hey… let’s talk…” This opens the doors of exchange. These doors allow ideas, opinions & sentiments to be shared. Views can be expressed. Thoughts can be grown. Conversation allows vision & forward thinking to increase. When we include God in our conversations the doors of future opportunity open wide and allow us to enter in.

This week let’s make time to have some healthy conversations. Firstly let’s make time to converse with God like Moses, Samuel & Abraham did. Be open, be honest and be real with Him. Don’t do all the talking, take time to be quiet & listen to what He has to say in reply. Then take these God talks and open the doors of conversation with others. Remember conversation is a 2 way street… so allow others to express themselves as well. We’ll soon discover that conversation not only no builds our future it also cause others to flourish at the same time.
