Is your worship and reverence of God driven by one time encounters or is it a lifestyle. The Bible tells us that we are created for God’s pleasure and that is not on a one-time basis but continually. In the Bible reading today, Moses was reminding the Israelites of their encounter with God at mount Horeb where they heard God speak out of the fire. It was so overwhelming for them at the time that they feared for their lives since they had seen God speak as he gave them the commandments. As a result of that encounter, they were humbled and asked Moses to spare them of that encounter but that he should go hear God and they committed to obeying.  Now, God appreciated their humility but was more concerned about its sustainability as his intention for man is that we obey him always and teach our children coming after the same. But we know that the Israelites did not meet this criteria and suffered for it. Often as Christians, when we go through certain encounters or experience certain deliverance, we make all the promises in the world to do God’s will but shortly after we often return to status quo and our comfort zones. So the question today is: Do you obey God’s instruction daily? Do you still commit to his worship and service like it was at the time of that encounter? 

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for your deliverances always. Thank you for the assurance of your presence. Please Lord show me your ways and help me to walk in them continually so that my life will please you always 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
