When things change I usually don’t see it coming, feel ripped out of my comfort zone, and most often think it’s something bad that’s coming down.
No matter what – when things change they create defining moments divinely designed to draw us closer to God, more sure of His Presence, transformed in the furnace of change to reflect more of Him and less of ourselves.
God called to Moses in a burning bush, [Exodus 3:4] and Moses moved closer – the trajectory of his life changed in that defining moment.
I can relate to the story of Moses. Moses was minding his own business on the far side of the wilderness. He was alone. He was at an all time low point in his life – nothing was going right. He was starting over – not at the top of the management rung – but at the bottom like working graveyard at a 7-11 or Circle K…hmmm I’ve been there…
It may be burning in you today – right now. Something you’ve been dreaming, thinking, and praying about. Don’t freak out – our God knows our hearts, is working behind the scenes in us to advance His Presence.
Look at it – the mystery of spontaneous combustion is the spontaneous Presence moving in your heart.
Listen to it – the small voice you just heard in your gut whispering YES to a dead or dying dream.
Lean into it – respond to it as Moses did. Not knowing where He will lead you – just say yes.
