BURNING CURIOSITY
Have you ever noticed how a healthy child learns? They don’t stop to think ‘I must learn’, they just do it through in-built curiosity. And so the child progresses from ignorance to knowledge, which can lead on to wisdom or to folly depending on the lesson learnt! The mature person is never too old to learn but the immature person thinks they already know it all. Moses acquired a lot of knowledge in his Egyptian classrooms from his tutors but God had some bigger lessons to teach him, so he took him into the wilderness. Tired of tending sheep, Moses became curious when he noticed a bush that blazed but did not burn up – that was the beginning of his personal tutorial with God. Any bushes burning around you? Ready to learn something new with God?!
