As we close our thinking about this encounter between Moses and God, I so wish I could talk with each of you and hear what God is teaching you as you carefully read His Word! Feel free to post your comments and lessons learned. Moses is one of my "heroes" ... for many reasons. One is definitely his companionable relationship with God. And alongside that companionableness, he exhibited a holy fear that is so appropriate coming from the created ones! He is also one of my heroes because he was so sure that he could not do the task that God sent him to do. I can totally relate to his hesitancy and initial unwillingness to boldly go where God said go. I love that Moses was on the mountain when Jesus was transfigured (Matt 17) "talking with Jesus". Can you imagine that conversation ... how I would love to know what was shared so intimately between the three (Jesus, Moses and Elijah). And yet we see this Moses, this friend of God, still needing a fresh vision of his God before he could continue the journey. Did you get one this week? I pray that God gave you fresh eyes to "see" Him as you studied. The apostle Paul applies this particular Old Testament passage for us. Read his words in 2 Corinthians 3: 7 - 18.
Here are some highlights from the video discussion: "Revelations of God match our current need"; "The glory of God IS His character. Don't rush so after experience, seek Him"; "When a heart is seeking, the Spirit reveals".
This week ... Lesson 4 ... we will try to learn some lessons from David, the great shepherd - king of Israel. Read 2 Samuel 12 and Psalm 51 at one time. Remember, just read through, letting the context and content of the whole chapter settle in your spirit. Read 2 Samuel 12 first to set the context. Then read Psalm 51. Tomorrow we will begin looking at specific verses from the Psalm and search for personal lessons imbedded there.
Day 1: Psalm 51: 1 - 4
Day 2: Psalm 51: 5 - 9
Day 3: Psalm 51: 10 - 13
Day 4: Psalm 51: 14 - 17
I pray God's blessings and peace to permeate all your being this day.
