A Second Chance
By T. S. Candee on January 15, 2025 in 3-Minute Daily Devotions for Men
Moses was asked to meet God on the mountain. Moses was asked to refuse the impulse to run away. He was offered an incredible opportunity to trust God.
God wrote His heart for mankind on tablets of stone. Each command pointed to the one thing most important to God-love. If the people really chose to love, they wouldn’t take things that didn’t belong to them. If they chose to love people, they’d do the things that pleased God. Real love wants the best for others.
God wants you to trust that His commands are borders that keep you close to His best. If you go beyond His borders, you’ll hurt others. And you will hurt yourself.
Your connection with God is just as real as the mountaintop experience was for Moses. And know this: God has something to tell you. Decide that you’ll believe He has something better for you when You live within the boundaries He’s designed for your benefit.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
