Ever read a verse and see something you’ve never see before? Last night, I was reading in Exodus 3 and I noticed something new about Moses and the burning bush. God didn’t speak to him from the bush until he went over to look.
“So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” 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.”” (Exodus 3:3, 4 NIV)
“When the Lord saw that Moses had gone over to look...” I had never noticed that before. God created the burning bush, but He waited patiently for Moses to go over and look, to take some initiative to see what God was doing and find out more. It was then that God spoke to him from within the bush.
What is God showing you, but waiting for you to take the next step in so that He can speak to you?
“The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.” (Psalm 25:14 NIV)
It’s Makeover Monday. Let’s all step in for a closer look.
