Bibledoorajar: Instilling Peace to Act

Now that Moses and Zipporah had made things right at home, God moved to instill greater peace within Moses's heart to act on His behalf. In His wonderful kindness, God had already dispatched Aaron to the mount where Moses had first encountered Him. I think it is wonderful that God has things already in motion to help His own serve Him better. How reassured Moses must have been when he realized God had indeed sent Aaron to him. How reassured Aaron must have been that God Himself was sending him to Moses. And when they met on the mount where Moses had encountered the burning bush they had to have known that something great was going down. That place had taken on the significance of being Holy Ground because of what God and Moses had previously done there. Now God, Moses and Aaron would reaffirm their mission there. Moses was God's Ambassador; Aaron was Moses's prophet. Aaron would accurately report the Words received by Moses. Imagine the emotions that must have run high within these men as they perceived in their heart all that God was doing within them. Truly this is what made the mount holy and sacred.

Yesterday, many of us met around the Lord's Table. At that sacred place we experienced anew what God has done and is doing for us. It was an opportunity to plumb the spiritual realities of our lives and in the end to have peace instilled anew in our hearts. We left the Table fully aware of the potential God has given us to confront the world in which we live. Renewed and empowered. Ready to serve again. Ready to accurately report the Words of Jesus. How great is that? Are your emotions running high? Truly this is what made the Table holy and sacred.
