Read Exodus 24:12-18
12 The
Lord said to Moses, “Come up the
mountain to me, and while you are here, I will give you two stone tablets which
contain all the laws that I have written for the instruction of the people.” 13Moses
and his helper Joshua got ready, and Moses begany to go up the holy
mountain. 14Moses said to the leaders, “Wait here in the camp for us
until we come back. Aaron and Hur are here with you; and so whoever has a dispute
to settle can go to them.”
15 Moses
went up Mount Sinai, and a cloud covered it. 16–17The dazzling light
of the Lord’s presence came down
on the mountain. To the Israelites the light looked like a fire burning on top
of the mountain. The cloud covered the mountain for six days, and on the
seventh day the Lord called to
Moses from the cloud. 18Moses went on up the mountain into the
cloud. There he stayed for 40 days and nights.
Think
People often ask about the
symbolism of 40 in the Bible (Vs 18). 40 weeks is the time it takes for a baby
to be born, 40 years is about a generation; 40 is a symbol of newness and
transformation.
For now, remember the
majestic way in which the Lord spoke to Moses.
Pray
Lord, you spoke to Moses from
a cloud, on a mountain; you can speak to me in the quietness of my heart. Guide me today I pray.
