Today is Monday, January 14, 2019, and here is your Daily Devo. In this account, we see God's heart for people, the people he formed from Abraham's family as well as the nations. God is a compassionate God. He overflows with love and care for us.
That is why he acted, but it is not the only reason. It is not even the primary reason. God tells Moses and us he was orchestrating this clash so that he might be glorified. As much as God loves us, we are not his highest concern.
His glory is. That is why we exist, to glorify him. God loves us more than we can imagine. God is jealous of his glory and pursues it at all costs.
We see here these two truths presented side by side, not in opposition to one another, but as friends. May we balance them this same way. May God's love for us and our love given him in response drive us and those around us to experience the glory of our good God. Think about this.
How was God glorified in this account? How was this good for the people to see and experience? Why is seeing, experiencing, and knowing the glory of God good for us? Thanks for listening to The Daily Devo.
