And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God. Exodus 31:18 – Moses had been up on the mountain with God now for 40 days and nights. God had been instructing Moses on all sorts of things from the design of the Ark of the Covenant to how the garments the priests wore were to look. These things were given to Moses with great detail so they could match their heavenly counterparts as closely as possible. Then, at the end of this 40 days, when the Lord was done speaking, God Himself wrote for Moses on these two tablets of stone. God’s very words, written with the finger of God, were given to Moses. How amazingly special is that, that Moses was able to hold within his hands the written words of God like this. Such a find would be the climax of archelogy! How many of us would love to hold within their arms these tablets of stone, for on such was written the words of the Lord? Yet at the very same time, like a popular song right now reminds us of, there is dust on our Bibles. Finding space in our day to read scripture is difficult, and finding the passion for it is even harder. Bible plans get started but never finished and we even find ourselves sometime forgetting our Bibles when we come to church. Let’s keep in mind that these copies of scripture are just as much God’s word as those tablets of stone given to Moses were. If we want to hold in our hands the words of the Lord just like Moses had the opportunity to do, then pick up your Bible. If you want to know what God has to say to you, then read your Bible. If you want to hear God speak audibly to you, then read your Bible out loud. Remember how blessed we are to have the word of our God complete and available to us like we have. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3175
