God created multiple awe-inspiring signatures of His presence in nature. When God called Moses for His service out of burning bush, Moses did not ignore the bush. He responded to God's voice.
God still calls Christians for His service today, but at times we ignore the "burning bush" and go about fulfilling our own desires and ambitions instead of answering His call.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote, "Earths crammed with hearers, and every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees takes off his shoes. The rest sit around and pluck blackberries."
As we look at God's gifts in nature, may our grateful hearts respond with worship and service.
