Does God Take Too Long? Part [3] 04/30/2023 (Evening thought)

Exodus 24:12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will you tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

[1] The impatience of the saints at Mt. Sinai. That phrase: “And be there” refers to an open-ended time frame, as far as the human agent Moses is concerned. He is not to rush God in any way, he is not to carry his watch, or Fitbit with him, checking the time ever so often as some persons might do during divine hour.

 Moses must “Be there” for as long as it takes, as he waits upon God to determine his length of stay on the mount. Some of us have very difficult lessons to learn, before the time of trial comes upon the world because, in Revelation 14, it speaks of the patience of the saints.

But in some instances, our own experiences may be described as “here is the impatience of the saints”. Moses and Joshua then depart for the Mount, and the people are left under the jurisdiction of Aaron and Hur, if any matters of concern should arise, and need redress.

Ecclesiastes 5:Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
