Exodus 20

I am reading from a plan (click here to take you right to it) and would absolutely love to have you join me and share your thoughts on the reading.

(msg) vs. 20 Moses spoke to the people: "Don't be afraid. God has come to test you and instill a deep and reverent awe within you so that you won't sin."

I think I get this......this morning after a couple of years of wrestling with You, I understand...? YOU are a God of incredible love and patience, grace and mercy and in that love, patience, grace and mercy You are a jealous God. Desiring us to want You above all else, understanding we don't, won't and yet extending to us chance after chance to come to You. And in the coming to You we recieve this deep and reverent awe and IF we live in that AWE we won't sin....again your love, patience, grace and mercy redeems us when we don't live in AWE and sin......because in coming to You receiving Christ and becoming born again, indwelt with the Holy Spirit You know our hearts desire is to live in THAT AWE....well maybe I don't get it, but this morning I want to want to .

AHA!!! You know one of THOSE moments.......good stuff.
