Text for the Day -- Deuteronomy 5:22-24
----------
These words the LORD spoke with a loud voice to your whole assembly
at the mountain, out of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness,
and he added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, and gave
them to me. When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the
mountain was burning with fire, you approached me, all the heads of
your tribes and your elders; and you said, "Look, the LORD our God
has shown us his glory and greatness, and we have heard his voice out
of the fire. Today we have seen that God may speak to someone and the
person may still live."
Devotional
----------
Ultimately God is a great mystery. God is beyond our full
comprehension. The Israelites experienced God in the fire and smoke
of Mt. Sinai. Their commitment to God was rooted in their experience
of God's great power and overwhelming presence. The meaning of our
faith in God is rooted in our experience of God, for it is in coming
to terms with the mystery of God that we surrender ourselves. God is
much more than an idea in our heads.
Prayer
------------------
Continue to nurture a deep faith in me, Lord, as you undergird my
life by your presence. Amen
