THE GIVING OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
 
When the Lord had delivered the written tables of the Commandments, Moses reminded the people of the events of that time. He confirmed that it was the hand of the Lord that had been manifested. The people also accepted these laws because they heard the voice of the Lord. They requested Moses to mediate between them and the Lord, and God also accepted their proposal. He further gave an exposition of the Law to Moses. God’s laws stand for ever.
 
The manner of the giving of the Law: The Lord spoke to all the assembly of Israel on the mount. The presence of the Lord was represented by fire, cloud and darkness. The people heard the Lord as He spoke in a great voice and added more. The words of the Lord are given only once, this is because God is perfect in all that He does and cannot deny Himself. The laws, statutes and judgments that He delivered to Israel were never and have never been subjected to any alteration. They were delivered once and they always stand.
 
The Scriptures are commonly referred to as the Word of God. The Lord Himself was the first writer of Scripture as He delivered the two written tables written by His own finger. He told Moses to write other things that were necessary to complete the Law.
 
In Exodus 24:12, it is said that He delivered the two tables of stone to Moses. These tables were to remain in the sacred Ark of the Covenant for years during the times of Israel’s prosperity under God’s leadership. The Word of God was given both in writing and in speech, and it remains true to this day. Do you believe it?
 
THOUGHT: The words of God are perfect and eternal.

PRAYER: Father, may my obedience of Thy words be to my blessing.
