Exodus 3:1 "One day Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he went deep into the wilderness of Sinai, the mountain of God."
Moses is tending a flock and he sees a burning bush. God speaks to him through the burning shrubbery, telling Moses to confront Pharoah and save his people. Moses reluctantly agrees and trudges off to Egypt. The rest is history.
I love how this passage begins "one day." Exodus chapter three. The burning bush. The beginning to one of the pivotal stories in all of history. And it begins "one day." No particular day. Not a holiday or notable day on the Sinai calendar. Just one normal, average, run of the mill day. This shows any ordinary day can become extraordinary if we are willing to stop and see the burning bushes in our lives. One day. Is today that day? Is tomorrow? It could be. It should be. God has big things for us all one day. I need to notice the burning bushes, God speaking to me today. One day.
Dear Jesus, help me see you each day in every place, face, conversation, and shrubbery. Amen.
