Just got back from church tonight. We’re doing a really cool series called “iGod”. (See more) Tonight’s message was “i am not, but i know I AM’ – talking about how basically we are nothing but God is everything. In the message Greg used the passage of Moses and the burning bush…

Exodus 3:3-4
Suddenly, the angel of the LORD appeared to him as a blazing fire in a bush. Moses was amazed because the bush was engulfed in flames, but it didn’t burn up. “Amazing!” Moses said to himself. “Why isn’t that bush burning up? I must go over to see this.”When the LORD saw that he had caught Moses’ attention, God called to him from the bush, “Moses! Moses!”

“Here I am!” Moses replied.

So a burning bush caught Moses’ attention, but what would it take God, today, to catch my attention? I’m so busy rushing about my life, dropping off kids, cleaning house, working, serving. Do I ever really slow down long enough to let God get my attention? I’d hate to think that he’d have to do something severe in my life to get me to stop and listen to him.

So I’m slowing down and listening.

I heard this great radio broadcast the other day from Proverbs 31 Ministries’ Lysa Terkeurst. Found it online so I could copy it here. I know that I feel unbalanced a lot of times. There’s so much to do – some stuff I have to (like laundry), some stuff I want to (scrapbook) and some stuff I need to do more of (like spend time with God). Guess it’s time to rebalance my life 🙂

“One day I was putting clothes away when I heard an awful noise downstairs. I ran to see what had happened and discovered my washing machine banging against the wall in the laundry room. My son had loaded it with several pairs of jeans and sweatshirts that moved to one side, knocking it off balance. You know, sometimes my life is like that. I overload my schedule with too many items and knock myself out of balance. And then I find myself wanting to bang my head against the wall. That’s when I have to sort through the load to see what can be removed from my calendar completely and what needs to be redistributed by placing it a little lower on my to-do list.”
