Here we see where the ten commandments were engraved in the pillar of stone by God himself. God was sending the message to these imperfect, doubting Israelite's that this was the law. These were important. They were written by God's own hand.
I read my bible this morning and give thanks for the written word I have from God. So many times I take this book for granted. I forget to go to the word and look for his clear answers to problems. I forget to look at his word for encouragement. I forget to look at his word for guidance in my life. This is one area I feel very convicted on right now.
I am really, really good at praying and seeking his wisdom in that way but I don't use this tool he has given us as much as I should in difficult times of uncertainty.
There are some opportunities in my life right now that need God's hand guiding me for his will.
Today I will commit to be mindful to be reading passages outside of these lessons and the lessons from church. I will be seeking wisdom from him through the reading of his word.
Lord thank you for your word. Thank you for caring so much about us that you penned this living word. Thank you for convicting me this morning to be in the word not just to study specific lessons but to read beyond that in search of answers in various areas of my life. Father thank you for opportunities that require me to draw closer to you whether they are really exciting and good events or events that are difficult and require my complete trust in you. Thank you for your love and patience today and everyday. Amen.
