Moses was raised as Egyptian "sovereignty." His life was one without want. But for him it seemed his heart had lied in the people he had as slaves.
He broke the sixth of the ten commandments. His flee sent him to the wilderness. While there he tended flocks of sheep – a life different, but, was he in despair?
He married and became acquanted with the God of Israel. The rest of his life was tilted by a burning bush he found.
From the bush he receieved encouragement, purpose, and faith. All gifts from God that carried him throughout the rest of his days.
Can you imagine being the mouthpiece to turn water into blood? Or calling on the locusts, or freeing slaves from an entire nation?
Can you imagine leading an entire, rebellious nation through wilderness of testing, sieving and repenting?
Nowadays, Moses lives among the Greats. He returned once for Christ, then for Smith. But remember that it started from his obedience to a bush's voice.
What does this mean for us, when our hearts start to burn within? This is when the Saviour is knocking – will you open and let Him in?
If we follow that warm burning, and feed it spiritually, we'll find a life magnificent in happiness and righteous dreams.
For some it's not a burning. It might be goosebumps or just an idea. But whatever is good cometh from God, so follow it, I beg of you.
For then one day you'll be among the Greats – you'll turn around and see Moses. And reach the Father's embrace. It's His warmth that you and Moses felt from the burning of a heart or a bush.
