In the Bible, the story is told of Moses seeing a bush which was burning but was not consumed. What did he do when he saw the burning bush? Did he just ignore it and go on his way? No, he turned aside to see why the bush was not consumed.

Symbolically speaking, the bush which glows with light and gives warmth, stands for Spirit, which, while it glows and enlightens, cannot be consumed. Matter, because it is matter, can be and is consumed. But Spirit and the things of Spirit cannot be consumed.

Like Moses, let us frequently turn aside from the activities of material living and our too frequent desire for material things, to view and appreciate Spirit and the things of Spirit. If we do, we will have learned a great lesson--the lesson Moses learned so long ago when he saw the burning bush.

Then we will behold divine Spirit which ever burns brightly to enlighten our pathway, but which will never be consumed and which enables us to help others.
