Day 37
Exodus 19-20
Exodus 19:88 The people were unanimous in their response: "Everything God says, we will do." Moses took the people's answer back to God.
What would happen if all of God’s people here in this city had this kind of heart for God?
What would happen if all of God’s people in this state had the same mindset?
What would happen if all of God’s people in this country did the same?
What would happen if YOU decided I am going to LISTEN to GOD and DO
what HE says!
It’s hard to imagine what GREATNESS of what God would do if we would listen to HIM and do what he says… We could see things in our lifetime that would be just as powerful as they did back in the early church. Same GOD same POWER...
God still speaks today – Through His word and through His Holy Spirit… Just like back then I believe the main reason people don’t want to listen to God is they are afraid…
Afraid God will tell them something they don’t want to hear… We are fearful because we are comfortable where we are! Listen to how God’s chosen people reacted to Him in verse 18…
18-19 All the people, experiencing the thunder and lightning, the trumpet blast and the smoking mountain, were afraid—they pulled back and stood at a distance. They said to Moses, "You speak to us and we'll listen, but don't have God speak to us or we'll die." 20 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. God has come to test you and instill a deep and reverent awe within you so that you won't sin." 21 The people kept their distance while Moses approached the thick cloud where God was.
Moses had already let go of his comfort… Through God; Moses overcame his sin of murder, his weakness as a public speaker, and his fear of confronting Pharaoh… The Israelites on the other hand were comfortable knowing God from a distance.
I want to be in the middle of what God is doing. I want to see and touch the mountain…
I want to let go of the American dream to pursue a much greater one! One where all of God’s people listen to HIM and DO what HE says!
