Moses' Tablets

I recently just reread Chapter 20 in Exodus where Moses received the Ten Commandments. It's been years since I've read that passage in Scripture and it has wrecked me all over again on a new level.(Proof the Word is alive.) Understanding that Moses was so obedient climbing Mt. Sinai over 6 times to hear from God audibly that's just the first. (Look up a picture of Mt. Sinai in Egypt) But, I've related this monumental moment in christianity to our society these days and I'm not sure our generation would make it into the promise land either. I see a lot of similarities actually between the Israelites and this generation today. It's prompted me to challenge my own self and reflect on if I follow the Commandments day in and day out. I realized I've battled 5 of the commandments throughout my seasons of life and so I've challenged myself to focus on one commandment each week and really try to uproot whatever it is that might not please the Lord. I encourage you, reread the commandments. It's still holds power today in 2016. P.S. If you think you got it down pat and you're good because you don't break any of the commandments, read passed chapter 20. There's over eighteen more laws that we overlook. But, that will have to be another blog for another day cause whoof! They get down to the nitty gritty!
