Bushes That Burn in Wilderness

Bushes That Burn in Wilderness

It’s a story we know well, of course—Moses and that burning bush. The funny thing about it is that it was a day like any other. Moses was somewhere in the middle of the ordinary—getting married, having a child, tending his father-in-law’s sheep—moving in and out of the same old places. On an ordinary day, there it was, a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The moment is significant, to be sure, but not because of the theatrics. The moment is significant because of what the bush signifies—the coming of God.
