The Lord spoke to Moses and promised to appear to all the people if they kept the commandments of the Lord and lived as he willed. Then they would become a nation of kings and priests to the Lord and an example to all the world of what God can do (Exodus 19:5). The Israelites fluffed their lines and time and time again they disobeyed the Lord and ended up worshipping other God. Although we are living in the 21st century these principles still apply. As the people of God we are encouraged to listen to those he has chosen to speak to us and obey the words from the Lord. Like the Israelites, we are called to be examples to those around us. So how do we do this? Today, let us listen and learn from the example given us by Jesus, “I must do the will of him who is greater than me, that is, the father of all creation, Yahweh.” If we allow this to be our mantra then we will become the people God called out of spiritual Egypt and set on route towards the Promised Land.
