YOUR BURNING BUSH: FINDING PURPOSE

The Bible's introduction of Moses' calling reveals a profound truth: divine purpose often appears during ordinary moments. His transformation from shepherd to liberator shows us that our greatest calling might be hiding in our everyday routines.

Consider Moses' situation: a prince turned shepherd, living in exile, simple doing his daily work when he encountered the burning bush. The Bible teaches us that life-changing moments often come disguised as ordinary days. This moment transformed not only Moses but the destiny of an entire nation.

Even Moses' initial resistance - "Who am I?" - teaches us that feeling inadequate doesn't disqualify us from our calling. Instead, it often indicates we're being stretched toward our divine purpose.

Recognising your calling:

* Notice the unusual: Like Moses turning aside to see the bush, pay attention to what catches your attention. Divine purpose often begins with hoy curiosity.

* Remove your sandals: Sometimes recognising our calling requires stepping out of our comfortable patterns. What familiar ways of thinking or being might you need to be shed?

* Take the first step: Despite his fears, Moses ultimate said yes. Your journey to purpose begins with a single step.

The ancient sages teach us that the bush had been burning all along but Moses was simply the first to notice and turn aside to look. Your calling might already be burning in your everyday life, waiting for you to pay attention.

Consider today:

* Where might God be trying to get your attention?

* What seemingly ordinary aspects of your life could be hiding divine purpose?

* What excuses, like Moses', are holding you back?

Remember, Moses wasn't searching for his calling when it found him. He was simply being faithful in his daily work. Your path to purpose might not look like you expect. The ground you're standing on right now could be holier than you realise.

The power of this story lies in its reminder that transformation often begins in unexpected places. Your burning bush moment might come disguised as an ordinary day, your greatest purpose hidden in plain sight. Are you ready to turn aside and look?
