| If you have no idea what Jesus wants you to do concerning this big decision, Take the left door. If you know what Jesus wants you to do—and you just can’t do it yet, Go to the door on your right. REST STOP #4: Burning Bushes and Other Weird Things Moses saw a burning bush. He saw a bush on fire, but the flames did not consume the leaves or the branches. It was a miracle. And it was also a paradox. Burning bushes that don’t burn? That makes no sense. Something that can’t be—is. And Moses “turned aside” as the Bible says and noticed it. He noticed the paradox. Could it be that God would speak to us as well—through the paradoxes in our lives? The things that shouldn’t be but are nonetheless? The people who should hate each other but love each other instead? The idea that God is altogether holy and altogether merciful? The tension of discipleship and grace? But we, like Moses, must turn aside. We must be on the watch, on the ready to sit and listen to the voice inside the paradox. What are your burning bushes? Take off your shoes.—This is holy ground. |
