May God Help Us To Say, ‘All That The Lord Has Spoken We Will Do.’

Exodus 17:1-18:27

Worldly people create problems (17:3). Moses asks, ‘What shall I do...?’(17:4). Indecision asks, ‘Is the Lord among us or not?’(17:7). He gives victory (17:8-9,13). Joshua is being equipped for special service - ‘in the ears of Joshua’(17:14). God’s great concern is that His people move forward together. The work is not to be left to the few (18). God is looking to faithful servants who will ‘bear the burden’ together (21-22). There is much to be done, but we must never forget this: ‘prayer and the ministry of the Word’(Acts 6:1-4). You may not be a Moses or a Joshua, but you can play your part. We rejoice in who God is and what He has done for us. Assured of His presence with us, let us worship Him: ‘Blessed be the Lord...’(18:10-11).

Exodus 19:1-25

Before law, there is Gospel - what God has done for us (4). We are to obey in the Spirit of grace, as those who have been redeemed by His mercy (5-6; 1 Peter 2:9-10). God’s Word is not only for the leader. It is for the whole people of God (3,7,9,11). God speaks to us concerning possession, consecration and reverence. Possession- We are His 'own possession' (5). In love, He has claimed us for Himself. We belong to Him. Consecration- God is holy. We are to be holy (10,14; 1 Peter 1:15-16). Reverence- Don’t rush into God’s presence, presuming on His blessing. We must not take God’s blessing for granted. That would be arrogance (21-22). We must come to Him with this humble confidence: God will bless those who truly call upon Him (2 Chronicles 7:14-16). May God help us to say, ‘All that the Lord has spoken we will do’(8).
