In Exodus 3 Moses saw something strange, he turned aside to look at the strange sight, when Moses drew close to His Presence(the strange sight), THEN God spoke to Moses.
Here is the story;
1NOW MOSES kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the back or west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb or Sinai, the mountain of God.
2The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, yet was not consumed.
3And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.
4And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I.
Of course the story continues, but the point is clear. We must do something on our part like draw near to God and God will draw near to us. God was calling Moses to lead the Israelites which may seem like a Great and Wonderful job. We all have a similar Great and Wonderful calling from God on each of our lives. I believe God considers it just as important as when He called Moses to lead the Israelites from suffering. You are called to lead your family, friends, neighbors, or anyone you come in contact, by example, in love, to the same spiritual freedom that Moses physically brought to his people Israel.
Lord Yeshua, may the Light of your Presence Fill me today so I can shine Your brightness everywhere I go. May I turn aside to see what opportunities you have given me so that I may serve you more. May I turn aside so I can hear your voice. Amen.
