Clusters of orange berries flame bright on the rowan tree
outside the window. When did their colour become so vibrant? Unnoticed, the
fruit matured until now it is joyfully vivid.
Continuing the thought of the quiet maturation of the fruit
of the Spirit within each of us. We don’t notice the Lord’s work until one day
something highlights the joyful reality that through him, one of the fruits he
has grown in us has fed someone else.
Moses was on a mission, and yet curiosity drew him to the
burning bush, where he paused to wonder why it wasn’t consumed by the flames. Many
mornings I write my ‘to-do’ list and set off on my missions for the day. May I
indulge the childlike curiosity which often lies dormant under my grown-up
responsibilities, and step aside today to pause and wonder at the mysteries in
this wonderful world.
How wonderful it will be if, like Moses, I hear God’s voice.
