—Exodus 34:23-27
by: Dorothy Noel.
When God gave these instructions to Moses, the Israelites were a nomadic people without a homeland. There were many tribes in the areas around them, and regular warfare meant people groups moved from homeland to homeland. Yet God’s instructions called the men to leave their homes to appear before Him, leaving themselves at risk for attack. God’s promise of protection while they were away demonstrates God’s love. Following God’s instructions here granted the Israelites freedom of movement their neighbors would not have had. How does following God’s direction grant you freedom today?
