…but god… Episode 11
Transcript
“And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent. Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; and the Lord would speak with Moses. When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent. Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.”
Exodus 33:8-11
On this wonderful Friday morning we will focus on what we learned this week. As we have talked about we have learned so much more than just the surface story of:
Moses meets with God, the people wait for Moses to reveal what God has said, and Joshua does not want to leave the presence of the tent.
Moses sets the example for us. He was a follower who started doing and that is how he became a leader for God. Moses also was a mentor for Joshua. Meaning we should have mentors, people we look up to. We should not be blind followers. We also learned that we just need to do the work of loving others through Christ. As St Francis of Assisi said “Preach the Gospel at all times and if necessary use words”. Now, there is no proof that St Francis said these words, but the quote is attributed to him. But looking at his life one can see he lived it out. If we are truly living it out, people will see why we are serving, loving and leading. Then preaching the gospel by using words will become necessary. Therefore, we must always be prepared to share the account of what God has done, is doing and will do. Not only in our lives but in the lives of those who follow Him for eternity.
This was such an awesome scripture to delve into this week. I love being open to what God reveals.
Lord thank you for your amazing and precious love. Thank you for revealing your word to us. Help us to be doers and therefore be leaders in sharing the gospel with others both by word and deed.
Blessings and Press In and Press On!
