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." Exodus 3:4



Why did God wait until Moses turned aside to see the bush before he called out to him?

You will seek me and find me. When you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you, declares the LORD... Jeremiah 29:13-4

There will always come a time in our lives that we see the burning bush. We have to decide if it's important enough to stop and investigate. Some of us are too busy to stop. Some see nothing that could tangibly benefit them in the bush. Some find it alluring and decide that they'll check the bush out sometime in the future when it is more convenient for them. Others forget about their herd and their responsibilities to their Father-in-Law, and go strait to that bush thirsting for something that Canaan, Egypt, Jethro and the beauty of pyramids could never satisfy. It is these people that the Lord calls; and when the Lord calls, they answer, "here am I."
