Leader Devo
When Moses glanced up and saw a burning bush, he likely didn’t give it a second thought.
Why should he? Fires happened all the time. A lightning strike, embers drifting from a campfire, a couple tinder-dry branches scraping together in the hot wind until something sparked.
But a bush blazing away that wasn’t consumed by the flames? That’s something that deserved a closer look.
So Moses hiked over to investigate … and his life changed forever.
God never explains why He chose to speak to Moses through a burning bush. But that bush—on fire yet not consumed—is a perfect picture of what becomes of anything or anyone fully yielded to God. Take
a few minutes to read Exodus 3:1–15. Notice how it’s not just shrubbery that starts to ignite and shine bright for God.
It’s Moses too.
We’re praying that, as you lead this week, you shine just as brightly. That the Holy Spirit empowers you to connect with your kids, pointing them toward the God who hears them and sees them. The God who loves them and invites them into an eternal friendship.
Kids are used to adults telling them stuff—it’s the soundtrack of their lives. But an adult who’s clearly on fire with love for them and God? Who’s sharing from the heart?
That’s something they don’t see every day. That’s something that deserves a closer look … so they’ll be looking.
Shine brightly, friend. Be on fire.
