the Burning Bush
April 1st, 2008 by hadyantosuryadifew months ago around late July 2007(quite long I know :P), got this preaching about burning bush…. it was taken from Exodus chapter 3..
the story is about how God called Moses at first, It was an ordinary day for Moses where he did his chores, tending his flock(not really sure what is the meaning of tending a flock ^^) then suddenly God appeared in bush which is burning but it was not burnt. At that time Moses was given excuses not to refuse what God asked him to do which is to take the Israelites out of Egypt but in the end he agree to do so.
then as we know Moses succeeded take the Israelites out of Egypt to the promise land, and with God’s help he did lots of miracle like divide the red sea, makes water comes out from a rock and even he received the ten commandments. It was an ordinary day for moses when accept God’s calling but in the end he became a great man.
after i got this preaching, my mind was reminded how i get to sing pore. for me it was also an ordinary days in my life when i got my burning bush, a burning bapao to be exact (why bapao? because actually the bush is a he and i always call him bapao ^^)
on that day, as usual i got up, go to campus and as usual go to my lab (i was a lab asistant in my campus en walaupun lab nya bukan hak milik ku, tp boleh kan gua bilang lab gua, kan udah aku jagain and rawat selama 2.5 taon ^^ kaya anak gua sendiri) and as usual i sit on my favorite seat doing something with my PC then as usual this fellow bapao come to my lab (we were fellow lab asistant but he is on another lab and we often to visit each other lab)
on that ordinary day and usual chit chat, he mention that he wanted to go to Singapore to look a job, and i directly asked whether i can join or not… and then begin our journey to Singapore and here i am in Singapore alive, got a job, got a new pc, got lots new friend, got a church and even converted….
don’t ask to divide sea, because the most thing i can do is to divide
an bowl of soup using blows from my mouth (I think instead the soup is
divide but it will spill out around the table)
now I’ve in Singapore.. I believe it was all God’s plan by showed me burning bapao, and even though i can not do the miracle like moses did, but i am hoping that i can do a lot of things here in Singapore according to His plan and His guidance.
on this moment i want to thank to the preacher for giving a sermon to remind me how God has blessed me
to the mighty burning bapao aka bapao bakar, thanks for being my burning bapao, without u getting burn but not burnt i won’t be here in singapore and maybe we won’t be converted (hope u didn’t leave any burnt mark ^^)
update : after writing this blog, i just remember the fantastic four, jonny the human torch…. maybe i can try to accidentally make my burning bapao to shout "FLAME ON!!" who knows he can show me the flame and can give another blessing to another person ^^
