Life of Moses #21
Why do we do what we do? The love of Christ compells us" (2Co 5:14). What do we do? God has a purpose or function for us to do. Moses prays to God to ask He forgive the people and offers himself as a sacrifice (Exo 32:32, Psa 103:7). Moses realizes the loneliness of walking with God (Exo 33:13-14). The presence of God was Moses comfort - " My presence will go with you and give you rest". In order to draw near to God, we have to daily confess our sins (Jam 4:8, 1Jo 1:9). From confession, we move to to obedience (1Jo 1:7) - make decisions based on God's word. We then need to surrender to the Spirit of God (Gal 5:16, Rom 6:13). Moses learned the value of long-suffering (Exo 34:8-9). The Lord taught this to him (Exo 34:6). The tabernacle was a picture of Christ. It had one way in, a laver to wash, a light, bread, a vail, incense, the ark overlayed with gold and a mercy seat. Materials for the tabernacle was voluntary (Exo 35:1-10, Exo 35:21-22). God is teaching Moses that when you deal with them in mercy and grace, you bring them further than when you deal with them in judgement and harshness (Exo 36:5-7). Jesu trusted in God's word (Isa 41:10). God is Omnipresent; He is present for our blessing. God is Omnipotent; we are at the end of our rope in many situations. God is Omniscient; He knows the answer to our problems. " I'll uphold you with my Righteous right hand "- Christ believed Isa 41:10 and sat down at the Father's right hand (Psa 110:1).

After 40 years in the Egyptian palace then 40 years in the desert then 40 years leading Israel to their land Moses' life can actually teach us about living in the time we live.
