Burning Questions
by Susan Gurney What were you thinking about, Moses, As you grazed your father-in-law's flocks That day of the burning questions? Perhaps you were full of thoughts-- Wife, sons, job--the responsibilities of today-- The present, burning issues of life. Or, perhaps, your thoughts went farther afield-- To other people, places, problems, in another time-- The searing regrets of the past. Whatever your thoughts, I'm sure they were forgotten, When a bush spoke with the voice of God The burning commands that could not be excused away. When you questioned His wisdom--though perfect, And His Power--though it be total and complete-- He withered all questions with the heat of His rage. "'I AM' is the answer to all your burning questions--I am the 'I AM'! Now go do what I want, the only thing that really matters!" After that, past and present concerns must not have flamed so bright... Susan Gurney writes devotionals, poetry, short stories, memoirs, and nonfiction on family history, faith and nature.
