Do I?
Are you in the habit of asking yourself questions? I don’t! At least not thought provoking questions which search my motives and thoughts as I ought. Do you?
Moses was called by God to go up the mountain, again, to get the Ten Commandments from God Himself. Exodus 34:1-4
He was on the mountain, again for forty days and forty nights. Exodus 34:28As you read the rest of this devotional, read it as in the first person, as if you are asking the questions.
We are not asked by God to spend 40 days and 40 nights with Him; well, at least not very often.
When I intentionally have a Quiet Time, do I expect to talk with God Himself? Do I?
The LORD revealed some of His attributes to Moses.
(NASB) Exodus 34:6-7 “… ‘The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth;
7 who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
Do I expect the living God to reveal Himself to me? Do I?
Moses quickly bowed low toward the ground and worshiped God. Exodus 34:8
Do I kneel before Him (if physically able) in worship? Do I?
Moses then asked the LORD to go with the sons of Israel on their journey toward the Promised Land, he also asked for the LORD to forgive their iniquity and sin and take them as His possession. Exodus 34:9
Do I ask Him to go with me into this day? Do I?
When I confess my sins to God and ask His forgiveness, do I expect His forgiveness? Do I?
Do I ask Him to take me as one of His possessions? Do I?
~ Take it to heart ~
(NASB) Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to Me…”
Do I call to the living God? Do I?
“… and I will answer you…”
Do I believe He answers my prayers? Do I?
“… and I will tell you great and mighty things…”
Do I listen to God by reading/studying His words? Do I?
“… which you do not know.”
Do I know there is much I need to learn? Do I?
Do I approach God as a student? Do I?
