Scripture: Exodus 3:1-15
Summary
Paying attention to what’s around us and what’s happening within us, is hard to do these days with so many voices calling to us.
According to the storyteller of Exodus, Moses was tending his father in law’s flock in a place beyond the wilderness when he noticed something…a bush that appeared to be burning and yet was not consumed. The bush was not right in his path. It was over yonder somewhere. Moses had to decide to leave the path he was on in order to go over and investigate. He had to turn aside. It was only after he'd gone off his intended path that God called to him out of the bush, MOSES, MOSES!
What might we gain from the practice of turning aside?
