Prepare: Thank You Lord for Your Word! Help me understand Your message.
Read: Exodus 6:25-7:13
Communication of one's views and ideas to another is a skill. Even animals and birds are skilled in communicating to one another. When a woodpecker makes a pecking sound on the trunk of a tree, it sends out the message to other woodpeckers that this part of the wood comes under its territory.
How does God communicate to human beings?
Through His involvement in human history: It is God who actually directs the course of our history. He does so with Moses and his contemporary Hebrews. He works out his purposes in the lives of individuals and people-groups.
Through verbal communication: We see God instructing Moses in human terms and words intelligible to them. He teaches Moses what is to be said. The verbal inspiration of God comes to us today through the words of the Bible. (Hebrews 4:12)
Through visual communication: God sends out His message to Pharaoh showing Him that He is greater than the Egyptian gods and warning him to listen to Moses. This He does by making the staff turn into a serpent and this serpent swallowing the other serpents.
"Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.." (Psalm 95:7,8). Today is the Republic Day of our nation. It is good for us as a nation to listen to God that we may live aright.
Respond: Help me Lord to receive Your directions at every stage of my life and obey You in every area of my life.
