Summary

Here we see the Israelites are fearful and stand away while Moses draws nearer to God. Moses understands fearing God with reverence and drawing closer to Him. Growing up I had a healthy fear of my parents because I respected them and knew they wanted the best for me. I never doubted their love. God is the same. I pray that you never doubt Gods love for you. Think about the nature of this experience. We often are frightened by an active seasonal storm but imagine the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking. Is there any wonder why the people might have been afraid? What may have crossed their minds? If you were present, would you have been fearful? What do you see in God’s character to urge Moses to draw closer? In other words, “I desire to be closer to you Moses. Please come closer because I have some things I want to say to you?” Is there a fear of God that actually draws you closer to Him? Pray to understand a ‘fear for God’ as more of understanding of His awesome nature, character and His extreme love for us. I pray that you never doubt how very much God loves you.
