Moses was attracted to the bush, not because it was burning but because it wasn't disintegrating. The reason was because God was within it. God's people though persecuted by Pharaoh were not disintegrating because God was with them.
Lesson for us today, when God is within us, indwelling of the Holy Spirit, there is nothing to fear, God is within us and will deliver us as He did back then. Though the outer man decays, the inner man is being renewed day by day.
My neighbor who does not have Christ as his Lord is decaying inside and out, so what am I doing about it, as God sent Moses, God sends us, Mt.28:18-20

I see nothing in the bible that would even hint that what you have concluded in this lesson parallels to this event.
It is a bit of a stretch. There are so many great and wonderful lessons of the bible, why dive into our own minds to stretch a truth that is not there and God's lessons are so much greater than anything we can make up, even if it does make us feel warm and fuzzy inside.
We have to beware of such liberality with God's Word, it can lead down a dark path if we are not careful. It might start off as a supposed innocent story but as you see with Lucado, it can eventually lead into a direction that leads one astray.
