10 : revelations

When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’ And Moses said, ‘Here I am.’

— Exodus 3:4

Moses, wandering in the wilderness, encounters something unexpected: a burning bush that is not consumed by the flames. It is here, in the midst of the desert, that he receives one of the most significant revelations in religious history. The Burning Bush is not just a miraculous event — it is a symbol of the ways in which insight and divine guidance can appear in the most surprising, even bewildering, forms.

Just like Moses, we too can find revelation in the most unexpected places — amid the solitude of our own inner deserts. It could come in a moment of stillness, a dream, or even a chance encounter with a stranger. It might come in a song lyric that speaks directly to your soul or a word overheard in a passing conversation. These moments of insight often seem random, yet they resonate deeply, as if the universe itself is speaking to us.

The Burning Bush also represents the notion that profound truths can be found in the seemingly ordinary. Moses did not expect to hear God’s voice in the desert, but when he stopped, looked, and listened, it was there. In our own lives, we must remain open to these moments — especially when we feel disconnected or lost. The message may come through a synchronicity, a vision, or even a moment of unexpected beauty. It’s about being awake and present to the world around us, trusting that the answers we seek may be hidden in plain sight.

Beauford Delaney’s The Burning Bush is a painting that perfectly captures this sense of divine revelation, using bold colours to evoke the intensity of a life-changing encounter. As you contemplate this image, ask yourself where you might be encountering a “burning bush” in your own life. Are there signs, connections, or moments that you’ve missed, but that are calling out to you for attention?
