I was doing my devotions this morning. I've been reading Exodus, I got to chapter 34 and I felt God drop something in my heart that I really feel I need to share here. So here goes.... Chapter 34 of Exodus is the end of Israel's first rebellion against God at Mount Sinai. A gold calf jumped out of the furnace after Aaron threw in all their gold ear rings and jewelry and they worshiped it. (Aaron was a victim) you can read about that in Exodus 32. Then God tells Moses He's not going with them because they are rebellious and stiff necked. Moses intercedes for them and God agrees to go with them and he shows Moses his glory. Now we are up to speed here is what God showed me 34 The LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. 2 Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. 3 No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain; not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.” 4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the LORD had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. 5 Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the LORD. (NIV) Notice that God Calls Moses to present himself to (God) alone. At times God calls us to get alone with him and we need to shut out all the business of the world so he can restore us and what we have destroyed out of frustration of the rebellion we see (remember Moses destroyed the first set of the laws in Chapter 32) So the question would be this what have you destroyed out of frustration, that God is calling you to get alone with him so he can restore it? I hope this has been a blessing to you.....
