Sometimes the most ordinary moments set the stage for the most extraordinary encounters.

In Exodus 3:1-6, Moses wasn’t in a temple or revival tent. He was out in the wild, tending sheep—doing what he always did. But then came the bush. It burned, but it didn’t burn up. And out of that flame, God called his name.

Then came verse 5, where God said, “Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”

Now here’s the truth wrapped in that moment: the ground didn’t become holy because Moses was there. It became holy because God was. And when God shows up, the ordinary turns sacred. Dirt becomes divine. A bush becomes a beacon. A shepherd becomes a servant.

Friend, don’t miss the burning bushes in your life because they look too plain. That conversation, that phone call, that quiet moment on the porch—God could be in it. And when He speaks, He reminds us: slow down, humble yourself, and recognize the ground you’re standing on might just be holy.

So take off your sandals—lay aside your pride, your rush, your worry—and listen. Because God’s still speaking through burning bushes… and He might just be calling your name today.
