TURN ASIDE< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Exodus 3

Moses trained for eighty years for the assignment he will turn to for forty years. He lived the first forty years in the palace of Pharaoh. He was enjoying all that is enjoyable in the palace before he became a murderer and had to run for his life. Before he began to run for his life, there was no warning. It was not in MosesÕ plan to become a fugitive in the land that he lived in for forty years as a prince. God was taking him to a training field as a shepherd. It was not in MosesÕ plan nor did he have any understanding of where the journey was taking him. Do you have an understanding or do you have any idea where the wind is blowing to and fro? At over forty years there was no direction or plan for MosesÕ life. God does not operate by number but does have a number for each and every of His creation. When He is taking you in the direction of His plan and purpose, it is not important that you know where He is leading you, but it is important that you pay attention to the challenges that will be placing a mark on your life. The marks of challenges are the marks that will be reminding you of what you have passed through and it will also be keeping you focus in your assignment. Moses had been making turns and had been turning for eighty years, but the one turn that got his attention did not come until after eighty years. The first step to his turning took place when the ÒAngel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of the bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not burned.(Exodus 2:2) Having seen what was on ground, ÒThen Moses said, ÒI will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.ÓÓ (Exodus 2:3) The journey of eighty years took a new turn at the burning bush when Moses turned into a new forty years of assignment that he has trained for. Do you know where He is taking you? Could it be that your turning is close? Ask God for the grace not to turn away from Him at your turning ground but to turn into His calling.
