Success Secrets From The BibleSample

Curiosity

The story of Moses and the burning bush is one of the most told stories in the Bible. However, when telling the story, most people emphasize the fact that the bush was burning but wasn’t being consumed. I get that. That is one of the dramatic things that happens in this story. No wonder it catches the attention of most readers and tellers of the story. However, I think it is not the main point of the story. Why do I think so? I think so because I am very sure that not only Moses saw this burning bush that was not being consumed. There were possibly many shepherds in that part of the mountain on that particular day who may also have seen the burning bush.

There is a line that most people miss which is so crucial to what is happening in the story. God didn’t call Moses because Moses was a good shepherd, different from the others. No. The thing most people miss in the text is that it was only Moses who stopped to look at this strange site. That is the central point in this story, not the miracle of the bush not being consumed by fire. 

Curiosity is one of the success secrets from the Bible. A person who is curious always attracts a call to something, moreso than one who goes through life without any sense of wonder. Those who always look for things that make them wonder end up discovering new ways of doing things. In so doing, they end up becoming inventors or founders of great companies. 

Only the curious discover new things. It is the new things that bring about new business and new organizations..

Every invention and technology comes from curious people. They spend hours and hours observing things to find out why those things behave the way they do and they use that knowledge to invent things to help people.

Opportunities are everywhere looking for people with a curious mind. It was Helen Keller who said, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight without vision”. Everyone who has eyes can look, but only those that are curious can see. 

Prayer

Dear God,

Give me eyes that see. In Jesus' name.
