The Bush Still Burns

Exodus 3:1-12

Moses was tending sheep and saw a bush burning that was not consumed by the fire.
 
In verses 1-4:
Moses had everything accomplished for him for he was the child of an Egyptian princess. As a shepherd, he needed to thoroughly take care of himself. He was holding the vocation he was educated to loathe (Genesis 43:32; 46:32-34), and he lived as an obscure outsider. How humbling this must have been for Moses. In any case, God was getting ready Moses for a leadership position. Living as a shepherd and a traveler, he found out about the methods of the people that he would before long be driving and about existence in the wilderness. Moses could not see this; however, God was preparing him to free the people of Israel.

God had spoken to Moses through a burning bush, which was unforeseen. Moses went to investigate this phenomenon when he saw it. God may utilize startling sources when working in our lives. It could emerge out of others, encounters we may confront, or even our thoughts. We must be willing to examine these opportunities and be available to any surprises God may present to us.

Moses saw a bush on fire and talked with God. Numerous individuals in the Bible experienced God in noticeable structures, although not human. Abraham saw the smoking firepot and a torch flaming (Genesis 15:17). Jacob grappled with a man (Genesis 32:24-29). God drove the children of Israel through the wilderness with fire and cloud as pillars. Such appearances God used to direct His people, energize them, and demonstrate that He was reliable. 

• Acts 7:30-31, And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,

 
In verses 5-8:
Moses took off his shoes and secured his face when God told him to. Removing the shoes was an indication of veneration, demonstrating unworthiness of himself before God. God is our sovereign Lord, to move toward Him pointlessly is indicating an absence of regard and genuineness. While worshiping God, do we approach Him in a casual manner, or as a welcomed visitor before a king? We ought to modify our perspectives when coming before God for anything. (Genesis 28:16-17, Exodus 19:12, Joshua 5:15, Acts 7:33, Genesis 31:42, Deuteronomy 6:3)
 
In verses 10-12:
Moses rationalized, or made excuses, on the grounds that he felt lacking for what God was telling him to do. This is a characteristic inclination, for he was deficient in his own merit. Be that as it may, God was not telling Moses that he would work alone. God offered himself as an asset, he would have Aaron, and he would have the ability to do miracles. God regularly considers us to do undertakings that may appear to be challenging, yet He does not have us do them by ourselves. We ought not to hide behind our deficiencies; however, we should look to God for strength. (Acts 7:34, Exodus 4:10-12, Acts 7:7)

​We need to listen to and for God's voice. We may hear but our attitudes are not where they should be. Some may not be willing to listen. Some talk so much they cannot hear God speak. Many prophets told the Israelites to 'Hear the word of the Lord'. Do we? In addition, we do not need to exclaim, 'What if there is no bush burning?' God will always use something to gain our attention, to get us to stop and listen to Him. (John 8:43, Numbers 9:8, Matthew 11:15, John 10:27, Rev2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29, 3:6, 3:13, 3:20)
