The Burning Bush (Consuming Fire, part 4)

"And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed." Exodus 3:2

Wood burns, that is what it does when in fire.  It is the natural response of wood to fire.  But in this case the wood did not burn.  What did God do, did He change the fire, or change the wood?  It seems to me, He changed neither.  It was His presence that prevented the naturally occurring thing from occurring.

"I will be with thee...When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.  For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior." Isaiah 43:2, 3
His presence will keep us through every fiery trial.  The naturally occurring will be unnatural when He is near.
