“Moses was amazed because the bush was engulfed in flames, but it didn’t burn up. Moses said to himself. “Why isn’t that bush burning up?” (Exodus 3: 2, 3 NLT)
These verses are taken from a familiar passage that describes the call of Moses. I love this story because it is the greatest illustration in the Bible of what I call 4 Spiritual Secrets:
I’m not but He is. I can’t but He can. I don’t want to but He wants to. I didn’t but He did.Applying the Secrets to Moses, he was not the deliverer of God’s people from their awful slavery and suffering in Egypt. God was their Deliverer. Moses could not deliver them but God could. Based on his objections we know Moses did not want to deliver those people. God wanted to deliver them. When the Red Sea parted and the people of God marched through on dry ground nobody had to tell Moses: “You didn’t do that.” He knew, “God did that!”
The primary detail in this story is often overlooked. God got the attention of Moses when a bush burst into flame and was not consumed! In the extreme heat of the desert this often happens, but a burning bush is always consumed in about five seconds. The miraculous reality that the bush was not burning up moved Moses to turn aside and see how to be a vehicle of deliverance.
Epidemic addiction issues exist today that have millions looking for deliverance. There is also epidemic burnout among those who serve the Lord. As servants of God we need to turn aside with Moses and see how to be a “Bush Aglow” on fire for the Lord, without burning up or burning out, as conduits of God’s deliverance.

Dad, I love that description, “a bush aglow”! I keep relearning the 4 spiritual secrets over and over again. If the power is not coming from God, my light diminishes to a flicker and seemingly snuffed out altogether. However, you know better than anyone, that when we wait on Him and the wind of the Spirit flows through us, we are amazed at the glorious things He does! Love you so much! BooBoo
