FAITH CAPSULE: Today, make the choice to look and turn aside unto Him.

Exodus 3

Moses was running away from the palace where he was raised. He ran away from his ground of comfort to a ground of pain. He ran away from palace to desert. It was without notice that Moses fled because he accidentally committed murder in Egypt. Despite the fact that he was coming from the best place (Pharaoh’s palace) he did not despise where he ended and the word testified that, “Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.” (Exodus 2:21) While in Midian, he led his father-in-law’s flock to the back of the desert. Moses, while at 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 great sight. Many are on their ground to see and receive God’s direction, many have been privileged to get to the ground but make the choice to look outside of God. Are you looking and beholding Him 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 could have forced Moses to turn aside but he did not. It is time turn and behold so that He may set you up for you divine assignment. He called Moses, He is calling you. Be encouraged and know that, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”(1Thesalonian 5:24) Although Moses attempted to run from the assignment, he could not hide. Moses answered God’s calling that set him up into the center of his divine assignment. Today, make the choice to look and turn aside unto Him. God is calling you to the center of divine assignment. Do not let the privilege of your calling to your center of divine assignment pass by without you He will reward you.
