![]() ![]() ![]() Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” (Exodus 20:19) Here are the exact words out of the Bible of the fear they had with their own God: They told Moses that he should go up there and talk with God for them lest they should die from coming into direct contact with the Lord. The Bible says that when God first manifested His presence up on top of Mount Sinai, all of the other Israelites were scared to death of God. However, the thing to really grab a hold of is that even though God initiated making this kind of direct contact with Moses, Moses entered in and was not afraid to meet God face-to-face and one-on-one! These verses are obviously referring to Moses’ face-to-face encounters with God in the burning bush and on top of Mount Sinai when he received the 10 commandments from God the Father. It is a very fitting statement and compliment in which to end his story in God. The second verse is one of the last verses that are at the end of this man’s story. “But since then there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.” (Deuteronomy 34:10).“So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.” (Exodus 33:11).Here are the two verses giving Moses these two incredible compliments direct from the Lord Himself: Moses definitely accomplished this with God the Father! The Bible may have given Moses two of the finest and highest compliments that any person could ever hope to receive from God Himself. ![]() Personal Relationship With GodĪs I have stated numerous times in many of my other articles, the #1 thing God wants to do with each one of us is to establish a close, intimate, personal relationship. This article will be on what we can learn from the story of Moses and what we can each take with us on our own individual journeys with the Lord. They were both true heroes of the faith and there is much to learn from both of their stories in the Lord. There are major lessons to be learned from this man’s story and adventure in God.įor all aspiring eagles in God, I believe that Moses and King David are two excellent role models for all of us to study and learn from. This article will be an extension off the article I just did titled, “The Story of Moses.” As I said in that article, I believe this man has one of the most powerful and dramatic stories in all of the Old Testament. ![]()
