Scripture: Exodus 3:1 — “Now Moses was tending the flock... and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.”
💭 Ever feel like your life is on pause?
Like you’re doing what needs to be done—but not what you were born to do? That’s exactly where Moses was.
Not leading armies. Not parting seas. Just... tending sheep in the wilderness.
No spotlight.
No platform.
No visible progress.
But God saw it all. And right there—in the middle of Moses' ordinary day in a dry place—a bush caught fire, and his life changed forever.
🔥 Here's the truth:
God doesn’t need a stage to call you. He doesn’t need a crowd to confirm you.
He just needs your attention in the wilderness.
The burning bush didn’t appear in Egypt’s palace. It showed up in obscurity—on a mountain no one was watching.
Because the wilderness isn't wasted. It’s where purpose gets whispered loud enough to awaken your soul.
🕊️ What if your delay… is actually your preparation?
Moses wasn’t failing. He was becoming. And so are you.
🗣️ Today’s Reflection:
Where have you felt hidden or overlooked?
What if this season of stillness isn’t punishment—but positioning?
Is there a burning bush moment happening in your life right now… that you’re too discouraged or distracted to notice?
💛 Encouragement for Your Heart:
The wilderness is holy ground. Not because it feels good—but because it gets your attention.
Don’t despise the dry place. God is still speaking there.
🔥 Look again. The bush is burning. And so is your calling.
