Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” 4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6 And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God." (Exodus 3)
If we are ever to experience all that God has for us, we need to utilize one of the senses He has instilled in us: curiousity. It gets us to explore. It moves us to ask: "What is that? What if...?" Moses demonstrated a healthy curiousity. He asked the what and why. He also responded when spoken to. But He did not move forward carelessly or disrepectfully. He was brave, yet humble. Most of us never get that far. God flashes something before us we ignore; He whispers (or even shouts) something we brush off. We never explore what He may have in store. Go through your day today a little curious, asking those questions, looking and listening to what God may be putting in your path that you either walk around or over and ignore. Don't miss out on the opportunities.
