God waited


Today we hear about the burning bush.  Another of God*s miracles in the desert, like rocks flowing water, like manna and quail.  I think the real miracle was that Moses gave his full undivided attention, and that God waited to speak.

When God got Moses* attention
With the flame in the bush,
He waited for his curiosity
To kick in:
Why is that bush not disintegrating
Into an ash heap?
God told Moses to prepare,
To take off his shoes,
To ground himself.
This was something big.

God waited to deliver the message
Until he had Moses*
Full undivided
attention.
