—Exodus 19:20-25
by: Kennedy Ochs.
Reading these verses, it seems like God was a little redundant in His directions to keep the people from coming up the mountain. Why would God say it time and time again? But when I look at my own life, I see where I have acknowledged God’s commands and still gone in the opposite direction. Sometimes, we need constant reminders to stay on the right path. God sees what dangers are ahead and warns us in order to keep us safe. It may feel like we should be the ones in control of our own lives, but God knows exactly what path will be best for our future—even if in the moment it seems wrong to us.
