Acts 7:31
“When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came to him,”
What does Acts 7:31 mean?
Moses stumbles upon a bush that's burning without being consumed, and something about it pulls him closer, awakening his curiosity and awe. In that moment of genuine wonder, when he steps toward something he doesn't understand, God speaks to him directly. There's something tender in this detail: God waits for Moses' openness before revealing himself. The voice comes not to someone passively standing by, but to someone willing to move closer and pay attention, suggesting that God often meets us in the spaces where we're genuinely seeking to understand what he's doing.
