UNIQUE ENCOUNTER
Exodus 3: 1-10

It is the uniqueness of how God turns your attention unto Him that will determine the kind of passage that will lead you into the center of your divine assignment. When God was set to turn Moses’ life around from inside out, it was without any prior notice. Moses, having fled for the murder he committed in Egypt, ended up with the priest of Midian. While in Midian, he led his father-in-law’s flock to the back of the desert. When Moses got to Horeb, the mountain of God, “…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, ‘I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.’” (Exodus 3:2-3) The burning fire that did not burn the bush caused Moses to look and behold. Having been able to look and behold, Moses then decided to turn aside to the extraordinary sight. Many have been privileged to get to the ground, look and behold but have remained as on-lookers. It is not enough to look and behold without turning aside to give God the attention that is required to get the calling to the center of divine assignment. The Bible testifies that after Moses had turned aside, God decided to turn on to him. “So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ‘Moses, Moses!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’” (Exodus 3:4) God is not a slave master but rather is the saving Master. God, the Almighty Creator, will not force any of His creation but will wait to see and use anyone who is available for His assignment. Although Moses attempted to run from the assignment, he could not hide. Moses answered God’s calling that set him up into an experience of unique journey to the center of his divine assignment. The same God who was yesterday, is today and will be tomorrow is still in the business of leading people to a ground of making the choice to look and behold before turning aside unto Him. Are you on the ground of receiving your call or not? God’s calling to the center of divine assignment is a calling to attainment. Do not let the privilege of your calling to your center of divine assignment pass by without you turning aside unto God.    

Prayer for today: O Lord my God when I am set for the center of divine assignment that you have for me, cause me not to miss out in Jesus name.
