EXODUS 24:12. “And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to Me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mightest teach them.”
COME UP TO ME. Word after word – just like God said them. Page after page clearly stating God’s will. Stone after stone gathered and carefully placed there – Until an altar to God stood under the hill.
One by one the animals were led there. Sacrifice after sacrifice – burnt offerings and peace. Basin after basin of blood by the altar – Then the book was opened explaining the covenant made.
Step after step climbing high on the mountain – Stone after stone paved like blue sapphire and clear. One by one with bowed heads when they saw them – The fear of the Lord was obvious there.
Clearly – so clearly God spoke there to Moses, “Leave them – yes leave them, come up here to Me.” Smaller and smaller he seemed, as to God he approaches – Fading from men’s eyes God’s glory he sees.
Day after day as I read of my Savior – Thought after thought comes bringing light to my soul. Word after word God speaks peace to me there – Bringing joy to my heart as God’s truth He unfolds.
Subject after subject that affects my life daily – One after another they are there to meet needs. Grace given for grace needed – satisfied fully –
Coming as God lets me see as He sees.
Faith for faith there as new questions arise. Strength added to strength comes when God is near. Blessing upon blessing falls from heaven’s supplies. Joy upon joy when my Lord I can hear.
“O Heavenly Father, when I come up to Thee a lot of things that are unimportant fade away. In their place come those things of eternal value and my view of life and its events seems more like Thy own. Thanks for the invitation to draw near with a true heart and in full assurance of faith. Thanks for not striking me dead for my approaching with uplifted eyes and heart. I am not trying to be assertive or casual. I am just confident of Thy love and grace that will not send me away empty. I love Thee, Father. I am so grateful to belong to Thee. Amen.”
