Exo 3:1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
Exo 3:2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
The
vision came in the midst of common toil, and that is where the Lord
delights to give His revelations.
He seeks a man who is on the ordinary
road, and the Divine fire leaps out at his feet. The mystic ladder can
rise from the market place to Heaven. It can connect the realm of
drudgery with the realms of grace.
My Father God,
help me to expect Thee on the ordinary road. I do not ask for
sensational happenings.
Commune with me through ordinary work and duty.
Be my Companion when I take the common journey.
Let the humble life be
transfigured by Thy presence.
Some Christians think
they must be always up to mounts of extraordinary joy and revelation;
this is not after God's method.
Those spiritual visits to high places,
and that wonderful intercourse with the unseen world, are not in the
promises; the daily life of communion is. And it is enough. We shall
have the exceptional revelation if it be right for us.
There
were but three disciples allowed to see the transfiguration, and those
three entered the gloom of Gethsemane.
No one can stay on the mount of
privilege. There are duties in the valley.
Christ found His life-work,
not in the glory, but in the valley and was there truly and fully the
Messiah.
The value of the vision and glory is but their gift of fitness
for work and endurance.
