FROM "THE" DREAM TO "HIS" DREAM

Two years and two months later! We had no idea where we would be two years and two months ago. Two years and two months ago the Israelites walked out of Egypt into the unknown. Yet God had a plan! I find it comforting as I learn more about God, that by giving him...releasing my pride, he has room to work. Each time the Israelites or myself take charge without seeking godly guidance we find ourselves in trouble. Each time we look ahead without having faith in God‘s plan we get scared and begin to doubt and try to take control. Have confidence, as you move forward with god. Focus on the river in front of you and not on the enemy behind you. Have faith in God and what He can do, not

It is noted that gold adds value that both us and God have placed upon it. We take His value on this product and God directs us in building furnishings for the temple. And in this temple He will come and rest. Within this temple are His Laws. It is symbolic of how God created us and has placed value within each and everyone of us. He’s allowed us to determine value in ourselves as well as gives us guidance within our mind and soul. God wants to settle down with us through the Holy Spirit. He wants us to know his laws and have them on our hearts and in our soul and He wants to guide us both day and night. God is not look for and is not satisfied with a partial relationship. He knows how t

Is it significant that Moses was required to make tablets and bring them up to the mountain top?   Is it significant that God reintroduced himself to Moses? The significance I receive is that we are required to work at this relationship with God. God is not a flexible God, he stands firm on his expectation of each of us, he will punish us or allow us to be punished. There is a cost to to our sinful nature. Yet he is a forgiving and loving God that allows redemption. I see this as our example how he wants us to be! You want us to live our life is a reflection of his example.

The Lord said “leave me”! I never want to hear that. I would be a basket case and I tyrant.  I pray I never make God angry or that he has to decide what to do with me! Or have Him call me “stiff necked.” So, are we”all in” with God or do we appreciate the Moses leadership we have in our lives? I could interpret these followers dancing to get back in the good graces of God more then worshiping from their heart and soul. What did they do when God wasn’t around?  I Would prefer to hear God say I am “pleased with you”. Thus I keep my God close to my side and seek His counsel.

Man is after a god’s heart. We fill our spiritual void. And God is watching. We must pay attention to detail in order expect to be allowed to follow God. God will separate us from the flock by the fruits we produce. God comes to us where we are but it is up to us to drop the baggage that is keeping us from making the journey to where He is.

As a new believer,such as the Israelites, we claim to be one voice with God. Let’s just pause life with this chapters concept and remain in the communion with God. Yet it is mentioned about leadership still having to deal with potential problems while Moses is up in the mountain in the presence of God. What could we possibly argue about being one with God? So one can assume not everyone gets the “world peace”concept here. God knew there would be trouble then and now. He knew we needed laws to hold us accountable to Him and each other. God gives us tools to stay in relationship with You and each other. It again boils down to our personality we create in life and how we are in

You where right there on the mountain and we got scared. “...the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,” ‭... “but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” Why do we make it so hard for the Holy Spirit to control our personality; thus sin. Lord, help us to see us for who we are and deny ourselves and give power to the Holy Spirit whom you have placed in us.

The good ol’ “if then” statement. If you do this then I will do that. If you obey me fully, then you will be a Holy Nation of priests. Is this an impossible task for God to make? I haven’t told you the laws yet but if you follow them... So I reply, “ since you have done all these things I guess I will follow you and see where you can take us.” Obviously Pharaoh is no good and we robed all the locals. OK God let’s give this a try.

Think before you speak. Why would God not provide you water after everything else he did for you? Maybe ask before complaining. “How long do we have to Wait on God?” This chapter again leads me into the Lord’s pray, “lead us not into temptation “. Be clear in your direction Lord. Help me see or be patient with your blessing that have yet to be revealed at my lowly level of existence. Yet still your chosen people. You created us yet we still want to define you.

The Lord will test you. Are up for it? Do you want more then He provides? Do you expect Him to allow you to do your own thing? God wants us in relationship so we don’t expect “mana” when He told us none will be provided. The simplest rules should be followed! That way we don’t complicate our lives and start trying to redefine God. Trying to Change God does not have a very good result!

Whom do you guide or who comes to you? Are you receptive to guidance? A Godly leader is both called to give and receive. Make sure both apply to you. Last time I checked we are in a bubble (earth) and only God has the outside track. Thus, make sure you are listening to and giving Godly wisdom. Beware of outside influences!

The ups and down of life: You want to sing at one point and then the next event in Life is negative and you question your God. As we go through life, where do we focus our attention and when? Where do place the blame? Or the praise? Bottom line for me, have a singing heart. Stay filled with the Holy Spirit. If it come out as a song and dance great. But some times the heart of joy is all I can muster and I deal with God’s decisions with a content heart no matter the look on my face. I just know that the bitter water can be changed and I be back to the oasis soon enough; and be stronger.

Don’t just sit back and watch your God work. Be ready to “lift your staff” and carry out God’s calling even if you don’t know the outcome. The results are always bigger then the challenge of obedience.

My God strives to work with all of us. But when we claim to be His equal, He will do all in His power to dissuade that path and to limit the following. And then God creates a annual reminder for all generations (?) of this path to destruction and the sacrifice needed to block the destroyer. This attention to detail foreshadows the crucifixion of Jesus. He has the Hebrew families bring in the Lamb for 14 days. Establish a relationship with this Lamb. They need to replace the lambs mother and nurture it as their child. All part of the design and foreshadowing. God wants us to feel some pain & heartache when we make a sacrifice. This cute, soft, etc Lamb is the son of God. God had

“You shall explain to your son on that day, This is done because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭13:8‬ We must teach our children. They know God based on our example. It is a challenge to get them through life. Don’t allow your example to allow them to make a golden calf. Make them see the leadership of God Through your example, not see a man confused by what “l don’t know”. Know God and be strong. Leading your next generation and beyond are our exploits.

Only God can control your enemy. Your obedience to God is your strength. Fear not man or Satin. God can bless you through your enemy as will as have them push you out the door. Know this God, stand up and be His obedient soldier, and walk in confidence as you serve His bidding.

The hardened heart of a Pharaoh. We have all seen both good and bad leadership. Today, Societies Godless Humanism does a good job hiding the bad under their created false perception of Godliness that influences common knowledge through sin. ‬

God forbid we ever have to deal with a “stubborn Pharaoh “. Let’s practice being a good example now so God can use us when needed. Lord don’t allow me to fail to be your Moses today.

“Then the Lord said “Let my people go, so that they may worship me.”” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭9:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬ This slavery started under this Pharaoh. I assume they knew about God and sacrifices and had a relationship with God sometime during theses 400 years. God is methodical in His actions. I will accept the bumps along the road Lord and I will do my best to be your disciple during the hard and questionable time. Please do not allow me to be lead into temptation and question you actions but to stay strong in the fight.
