====================

The calling of Moses is one of the most dramatic ever. I don’t know about you but I’ve gotta admit that there have been times in my life, alright most of the time, that I have wanted a bush to burn in front of me, too! And for God to clearly reveal his purpose for my life.

How about you? You ever wished that God would speak to you that? Wished that he would lead you and give you your calling the way he did to Moses? I’m going tell you right now that God doesn’t usually repeat so if you’re waiting for a bush to burn before you do something for God you’re going to be on that couch for a long time.

But, and this important, there is something like that burning bush for each of us that helps to illuminate and reveal God’s calling in our lives. Let’s look at Moses’s fire first then I’ll share TWO THINGS that should be burning for you.

One day, while Moses was out shepherding a flock of sheep, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a burning bush. Correction, Moses saw that there was fire but the bush wasn’t exactly burning and so, Moses thought,

I gonna go over and check this out — “why the bush does not burn up.”(Exodus 3:3)

As soon as he gets there God speaks to him and says that Moses will be the one to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses life had already revealed a deep value for protecting and saving the Israelites. And that leads to one of the big ways God reveals his calling for us:

Passion.

One of the major ways we know where God is calling us to is by that fire within us. God created you differently than everyone else. You have certain things on the inside that ignite when it’s related to your calling.

When you are operating in alignment with what God created you for it energizes you. It may be the most difficult and exhausting work but when you lay down to sleep you’re filled up, you’re fulfilled.

One theologian says it like this:

“The kind of work God usually calls you to do is work (a) that you need most to do and (b) that the world needs most to have done. The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”

That “deep hunger” part is the second thing that should be on fire for you. God’s call really isn’t about you, though it is. It’s about how and who you’ve been created to serve.

If what you’re doing isn’t serving anyone than that’s not your calling. If Jesus, the one we follow, said that he

“did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”“

(Matthew 20:28 )

then how much more should we servants, too?

If you haven’t already done so, spend some time and find and know the calling of God for your life. I want to urge you to "live a life worthy of the calling you have received.”
