—Deuteronomy 5:22-27
by: Tabatha Pethtel.
Moses reminded the people of Israel of the time when they heard God speak to them from the mountain with His own voice and with all His majesty. Israel could not bear God’s righteousness—they were humbled. They knew no one had ever heard the voice of the living God and survived. The people of Israel understood the mercy God had shown them and asked God to speak only to Moses so he could relay the Word of God to them. Do we sometimes need to be reminded of God’s magnificence and the mercy He has daily for us? Are we committed to hearing and obeying His Word?
