Exodus 3:4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to
see, God called to him out of the bush.
One has to wonder what would have happened if Moses had not
turned aside to see that burning bush.
Perhaps he would have spent the rest of his life being a shepherd, never
having any more ambition that guiding and protecting the sheep. Never being independent from his father-in-law/s
wishes, never seeing more of the world than the deserts of Midian. He would probably have never seen his family
again, never done anything significant. But
Moses did turn aside to see the bush. God did
use that act to call Moses away from the behind-the-scenes lifestyle. God was able to use Moses for a great purpose
that might never have happened if Moses had not turned aside from his usual
routine and heard a special message from God.
