Deuteronomy 5
Inspired thots
The TEN Commandments were repeated by Moses to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land. It was necessary because this group would be the younger generation grown up. They may not have been particularly diligent when the actual ten commandments were given during their younger days.
It is strange to me that they should CHOOSE NOT to hear God personally; they prefer a spokesman. Why? Did they fear God so much to think that He will zap them? Already they acknowledge that they CAN HEAR GOD AND LIVE! God is a gracious God... wanting to bless and to fellowship with His people. The people fear death in hearing the voice of God. They did not understand God enough. They began to KNOW a LITTLE about Him but they did not KNOW or WANT to know Him more personally. How sad!
God's heart aches... v29 "OH! that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always so that it might go well with them and their children forever!"
God's request of His people is SO simple...We miss the boat..
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
