“And Moses
said, ‘I will not turn aside and see this great
sight—why the bush is not burnt.’ And when the
Lord saw that he turned aside to see, He called
unto him out of the midst of the bush and said,
‘Moses, Moses.’ And he said, ‘Here am I’.”
Exodus 3:3-4
How busy we tend
to get at times,
With so many
“things” to do;
We’ve got chores
at homes and responsibilities at work
And never seem
to get through.
Quite early we arise each day
And oh so late
to bed,
That our bodies
are weary and our minds so bleary
Because of the
“stuff” we’ve stored in our head.
Yes, we’re all
“stressed out” and ready to quit
Because of all
the pressure that we feel;
We sometimes
wish we could run far away
And get our
lives back on an even keel.
It’s in those
times when we’re oh so weary
And life’s about
to cave in,
That there, in
the midst of everything,
We hear the Word
that God does send:
“My child,
My child,”
He whispers to us
And calls us
personally by name,
“You’re
much too busy and burdened by things
As you
pursue possessions, fortune and fame.
“Your
heart is heavy and your mind’s so full
Of all the
world can offer;
And in the
midst of it all you’ve wandered far from Me,
Forgetting
the “treasures” from My own coffer.
“Take time
today to spend with Me
As I
whisper My words of love;
The things
of this world will fade away,
But not
those things I’ll give you from My storehouse in
Heaven above.
“Yes, take
some time to commune with Me
As I call
you to turn aside—
In so
doing you’ll discover what you’ve sought all
along:
True love,
joy and peace—when with Jesus you do abide.”
