Warriors Arise: November 20, 2021
Exodus 19:16-19 (NKJV) Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice.
The trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder. Can you imagine that? Close your eyes and listen...
I really enjoy thunder storms. When my brother and I were teenagers we would go out driving and park so we could watch and listen to the crackle and the thunder as it shook the car. I wonder why this never bothered me. When I was young, I was scared of so many things, but I do not remember being scared of thunder and lightning. I remember going to the window and opening the curtains so I could watch the sky light up. It still amazes me today. When my children were young and it thundered and lightning I would tell them there was nothing to be afraid of because God was having a party in heaven. I would ask them, "If that is what we hear, how loud do you think it is in heaven? If that is what we see what do you think the light show is in heaven?"
I am trying to remember if I actually called out to God as the thunder got louder. I do not recall ever hearing trumpets. We see in verse 19, Moses spoke and God answered Him by voice. God answered Moses. Moses spoke first. Honestly, I had forgotten that Moses spoke first.
We have no idea what Moses said, only that he spoke first. What do you think you would say at that moment? The people are ready and coming to the foot of the mountain. There is thunder, lightning, and smoke covering the mountain. What would you say???
Here I am.
We are here.
Glad to see You.

God

Father, I have taken the time to sanctify myself. I want to be filled completely with Your love, compassion and grace. I want to extend each one of those to everyone I meet. I have prepared my heart, mind and washed my clothes. I have washed away all the dirt from the journey it took to get here. I am ready to meet with You. God, I need You. I wait anticipating Your arrival. I will receive from You. I will call out to You because You are my God and there is not other. You are my Savior and I will serve You faithfully. You are for me and I will overcome. You strengthen me and I will be a victor over the schemes and plots of the enemy. I am Your child and You are my God. I will call to You in Jesus' name amen.
