TURN ASIDEExodus 3:1-11< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

God invested in the life of Moses and He placed a calling upon his life. Despite MosesÕ running and turning God caught up with Him on a ground where he had to Òturn asideÓ. Moses, having committed murder, he ran out of the palace of Pharaoh and turned to the priest of Midian. Despite all, God led him to a ground where he could not run but turn. Moses turned and gave God the attention that is required to listen to God.  ÒAnd the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, ÒI will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.Ó(Exodus 3:2-3) Can you tell if, by the virtue of His investment in your life, He is still waiting for you to listen? If you will keep on running and turning, be rest assured that you will not escape His calling and when it is time, He will create a scene that will get you trapped for His attention. A burning bush with fire without been consumed is enough to get Moses trapped. Anytime we are able to run, it is because He wants us to run. It is not possible to run or hide from Him. After getting MosesÕ attention, it was then that He called Moses, ÒSo when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ÒMoses, Moses!Ó And he said, ÒHere I am.ÓÓ To all that He called, He did not speak until they have answered ÒHere I am or speak LordÓ Just like Moses, there was also His investment on Samuel. When the Lord called on Samuel. He was running back and forth to Eli at his bedtime, ÒAnd before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle of the LORD where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down, 4 that the LORD called Samuel. And he answered, ÒHere I am!Ó 5 So when he ran to Eli and said, ÒHere I am, for you called me.Ó And he said, I did not call: lie down again.Ó And he went and lay down.ÓÓ Samuel received the calling but was answering to the wrong person. As God will have it, Samuel was redirected unto how to respond to the calling of God. Have you received His calling and missed out, some are still struggling to find out who is calling or whether He is calling. God is still in the business of calling any of His investments that will answer. Ask God to guide you in turning aside so you can listen and hear. Moses turned aside, Samuel lay in position to hear and listen from Him. Whenever His call comes for you to hear and listen, God will make the provision for you to answer in the name of Jesus.
