Hidden in Plain Sight
Moses probably would have spent all day looking at that burning bush, but to look at God, that was entirely something different. To look at God is to reveal your own heart.
This is the re-birth of Moses to the Spirit. Moses did not see God in the midst of the burning bush, because over the past 40 years he buried his heart and purpose in the back side of the desert. It can be so easy to bury ourselves into our daily grind, and natural course of our life, and leaving matters of the heart to another day or better, to never.
Everything changed when Moses heard his name. It was like it all came to the surface, the calling of God, the purpose of his life, living for something bigger, all in one moment. The Apostle Paul calls to us to“live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” As Moses was awoken to the Spirit, where is God calling your name to a holy moment?
Moses first two responses are insightful for our own awakening. When God called Moses to Himself, he said “Here I am”. When God called Moses to His purpose, he said, “Who am I?”
