From Bulrushes to Burning Bush

The story of the burning bush can be read and understood on many levels. To the religious historian it might mark the transition from superstitious belief in fire gods or mountain spirits to an awareness of the omnipresent majesty of a single Creator. For those who respond to symbolism, it might be a way of describing how the spark of an idea can fall into a man's mind and leave him on fire with a burning desire to achieve some worthwhile goal. 

May we not think that every painter, every musician, every writer, every poet, or indeed anyone who creates something beautiful or something true has within him his own burning bush. But, when the goal is a noble one, as it was in the case of Moses, it is also the voice of God speaking to you. 

Thank you for listening!

Blessings to All!
