Prov 4:5–7
Exodus 32-33
This
has to be one of the saddest stories in all of Exodus if not the Bible. Why do
you think the people forsake God so quickly?
Why
do you think Aaron joined in their sins?
What
does this teach us about the nature of God?
What do we learn about the heart of Moses?
What do we learn about the heart of Moses?
Notice
that Moses was more concerned about the reputation of God than himself. Could
the same be said about you?
On
the other hand notice how Aaron tries to blame others (Moses, the people, and
the furnace). We must learn to admit our sins and seek forgiveness.
Moses
offered his own soul for the people (see Romans 9:3), how much did he love the
people?
To
lead people we must learn love in a strong way.
Chapter
33
Why
did the people mourn in verse 4?
What
was the instruction that God gave them? How could this apply to us today?
The
tent was put outside the camp, what is the symbolism here?
It
says that Moses met with God face to face as a friend. Consider for a moment
what this must have been like. Now consider that we come to the throne of grace
through Christ today.
When
it speaks of Moses seeing the Lord’s back it means the afterglow after the Lord
passed by him.
Matthew 24:27-44
Jesus
gives several ideas about the second coming. He quotes from Isaiah and the
meaning has to do with total upheaval socially and politically
The
key thing is to be ready for His coming. No man will know the time, but we all
must be ready. Are you ready if he comes today?
Psalm 20
The
key verse of this Psalm is verse 7, “Some trust in chariots, and some in
horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.”
What
or who do you put your trust in?
Proverbs 4:5-7
In what ways can wisdom protect and preserve you?
Praise
the Lord for His grace and His intervention.
Following
in the example of Moses intercede for someone that needs it today.
Pray
about your state of readiness for the Second Coming.
