Re: Verse reading–Exodus 32:1-19, 30-33; 33:12-17; 34:1-7 (day five) 7 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. 8 They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them.
It happened that fast. Perhaps it was an idea or a fleeting thought. Maybe it was born out of fear or frustration. The end result was an immediate derailing from God’s plan and path.
This summer at Youth Camp we are studying Galatians 5:24-25. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
This verse speaks to the attention and the determination we MUST have in order to serve and follow the Living God. Sin and disobedience are as close as “the next step”.
One of my new favorite songs has these lyrics: To my heart I preach Your sovereignty and the power of Your name. God, let hope arise and faith become the fortress of my heart. I will lift my eyes and see You as the awesome God You are, believe You as the awesome God You are.
How and when do we “preach” to our hearts the power, strength, and goodness of the Living God?
