Why is it significant that Moses was not actively seeking God in the desert?

Answered in 1 source

Moses' lack of seeking God highlights God's sovereign grace, as God initiated contact and revelation despite Moses' unpreparedness.

The narrative of Moses in the desert illustrates a profound truth about divine revelation. Although Moses was not seeking God while tending his father-in-law's sheep, God chose to initiate a confrontation with him through the burning bush. This emphasizes the Reformed understanding of God's sovereignty: He does not depend on human initiative for His plans to unfold. Instead, God seeks out those He has chosen, bringing them to a place of revelation and understanding. This act exemplifies that true knowledge of God is granted through His divine initiative rather than human effort, assuring believers of God's persistent grace in bringing His people to Himself.
