Exodus 24

Amazing!  Moses waited on the Lord, what were those 6 days like before God spoke on the 7th day.  Did Moses want to give up waiting?  Was he just preparing his heart for what was to come?  What was Moses doing during the waiting?  Regardless of what he was doing, he waited and on the 7th day experienced the full-on presence of the Lord.  How amazing is that!  I wonder what we miss out on because we don't wait?  I wonder what we miss out on because we don't slow down to prepare our hearts for His amazing power?  I think we could experience God in a whole new way if we just slowed down and listen....shhhhhhhhhhhhh!  "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening" would be a great way to pray through the day!

  1. Two thoughts: vs.2 - But Moses alone is to approach the Lord. Why Moses? What was it about Moses that set him apart? Vs. 9 - 70 elders. I always viewed this story from the big picture but each one of those elders had a story. In that mix were men who were jealous, envious, scared, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. And they saw God. I wonder how that moment changed the trajectory of their lives or did it? - Blaine
