Deliverance: A Study In ExodusExemplo

What does it say? 

Moses went back to Mount Sinai to copy God’s commands for a second time. After coming down, Moses’ face was radiant because he had been in the presence of God.

What does it mean? 

God created a covenant, an unbreakable promise, with Israel. As God’s own people, Israel was to follow His commands. God warned Israel not to intermarry or make political treaties because it would bind His people to idol worshippers. God established a day of rest for Israel to focus on Him rather than their work. Giving Him the first of all they had was a constant reminder that everything came from God. Because Moses had been continually in God’s presence for so long, his face reflected God’s glory. The radiance was evidence to the people that Moses spoke to them on behalf of God.

How should I respond? 

Today, believers live under a new covenant with God through the sacrifice of Jesus. Like Israel, following God’s commands sets us apart as His people. Spending time alone with God and His Word teaches you about His character and His commands. But having a daily devotion or quiet time isn’t simply about learning—it’s about life change. How does your life reflect that you’ve been in the presence of God? Do you radiate God’s grace, mercy and love? Determine this week not to just read Scripture, but to put it into practice. God’s presence in your life will be evident to those around you.
