"But Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stationed themselves at the foot of the mountain." Exodus 19:17
Do you fear God? If you were at the foot of the mountain with Moses you would surely fear Him. God wants us to have a healthy fear of Him. It isn't fear that He desires though, it is obedience. Moses was obedient, he listened and obeyed, he did what God asked of him. Moses shows us we are to have a healthy respect for God but He is not to be shaken in your boots feared. At the foot of the mountain the people could hear God. They prepared themselves for God, it was a dedicated decision. There is not a mountain out my back door but everyday, I prepare myself to sit at the foot of the mountain. I have a strong desire to listen and most days I hear. Having a healthy respect for God prepares us to listen, He will get your attention, I promise you that. Go to the foot of the mountain.
What is God saying to me: In the stillness I speak, in the stillness I am here, in the stillness I move within. Prepare the way for My Holy mountain.
Come, Holy Spirit, and overshadow me with your gentle wisdom and power as I endeavor to sit at the feet of Jesus during this period of prayer. Purify my mind and heart as I seek to make the teachings of Jesus my priority in life, thinking, speaking and doing as he desires. You are the keeper of my soul, leading me into God's heart. May I be docile and submissive to your wisdom and guidance, and may my life be a pleasing offering in your sight, through Christ our Lord. Amen. Triune God, Be my all! Triune God, Be my all! Triune God, Be my all!
