\u201cThere the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.  So Moses thought, \u201cI will go over and see this strange sight\u2014why the bush does not burn up.\u201d Exodus 3:2-3<\/em><\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God used burning bushes to send His message to Moses.  Moses didn\u2019t have a phone with notifications to alert him to new texts.  But he did have a burning bush that wasn\u2019t actually burning to get his attention.  The burning bush for Moses is significant because it shows, God can reach us wherever we are.  Not only does He know how to find us, He knows how to communicate with each of us in a way that is personal to us.  One way God communicates with us is through our own burning bushes.

God used the burning bush in Moses life to liberate the Israelite’s from slavery.\u00a0 God used the burning bush in my life to draw me closer to Him. I was working for a company in a miserable job I hated.\u00a0 I felt that there was no way out. I had to accept the working conditions that I was enduring. I had bills to pay. As I spoke to a trusted Christ following friend, she reminded me, God was my provider, not the company.\u00a0 Still I wavered, until God gave me a \u201cburning bush moment.\u201d It was at the end of the meeting, new conditions had been added to my job responsibilities. I didn\u2019t know how I could possibly do even more, but I was willing.\u00a0 Then it happened. I felt like I was watching a jumbotron at a sporting event as I saw the words, \u201cTrust in me,\u201d roll across my mind. I knew it was a message from God. I didn\u2019t hesitate, I immediately gave my two weeks notice.\u00a0 When God talks, get ready to walk.

When God talks, get ready to walk.<\/strong>

God did provide.  Over the next months He led me to a job that I loved and worked for the next 16 years.  Not one of my bills went unpaid, He provided every step of the way. The journey wasn\u2019t always easy, but knowing I was following Him, made it all worthwhile.  My burning bush moment was a jumbotron at the end of a meeting. For many people, their first burning bush moment is when they realize their need for Jesus. That moment when you realize, without Him, you can\u2019t go on.  You need His love and mercy, His grace and peace. And you can have it, simply say, \u201cGod, I\u2019m a sinner in need of grace. Help me.\u201d Ten words that will start you on an adventure like you can\u2019t imagine. God uses burning bush moments in our lives to communicate to us.
