One man of old had had such a roller coaster life that upon fleeing from the onset of fire found himself at the very heart of fire staring and glaring in his face almost obliterating his human thoughts. You see, this roaring fury fire had a calmness that made this middle aged man curious that despite the challenges he was running away from. Challenges that were fury like fire, he found himself moving close to this fire.
Have you ever had the guts to move closer into the fire you knew could burn you or scar you so bad or melt you into smithreen roast? Have you experienced so much fire in your life that it drew an attention to your wrenched mind oblivious of its effects ? You see if you have walked and the journey has made your feet dirty, covered with filth ..earlier you may have slain a man secretly for interfering with your so called blood brother or is it same clan and language, A person you spoke likewise and did things in the same manner that they reminded you of you were born to be and instinctively sought to defend them? Think of the blood that spattered on your shoes and the dust that covered your dirty shoes as you fled away from all the comfort after realising someone has seen you!
We get so engrossed in our troubles and even add more to them as we try to find peace for ourselves in solitude without the approval of ELOHIM. This Israeli man had walked and there after sought work as a shepherd in those plains that looked rugged dry and weary. It is here he found solitude yet propelled into the heat that could stir up and ignite a fire. A man who sought the GOD of his forefathers a GOD he didn't know nor was ready for.
What sparked all this in a fiery place? Yes there was a bush a thicket and no human presence around, Was he so bushy or bushlike, primitive that the fire burned from within yet it didn't consume him? Was this a different kind of fire ? Different from the flame that burns wood down into ashes, ignited by the hands of man? Why would he experience a different kind of fire from within that wasn't consuming this man? Curiosity or is it thirst for knowledge that drove him closer to the fire seeing it cannot consume the bush, that meant it wont consume him being flesh..?
Moses saw a burning bush..and moved closer . His feet heavy with sin and dirty, tainted by the blood of a human he had killed and the dust of the fields that he had tended sheep. A voice speaks from this fire and lets him know it's not just a fire, its an ALTAR. A place of GOD'S habitation or dwelling and his dirty shoes can't certainly touch this place. DOES THIS MEAN HIS FEET ARE CLEAN? The leather had covered their nakedness and protected the feet? Was this protection from an animal that had been killed and the leather treated well enough to cover the feet of Moses a man who would obey ELOHIM'S voice and get the Israelis out of Egypt?
The ANCIENT OF DAYS certainly has HIS ways of doing things . Who can fathom HIM?
To be continued as the HOLY SPIRIT guides.....
