Today's Reading: Psalm 62, Exodus 6:10‐7:13, 2 Chronicles 35:1‐19, Romans 2:1‐16
Psalm 62 - Verses 11-12 speak to the fact that God is a God of steadfast love and is all powerful. We can trust in his faithfulness and love. He will render to men according to their work. In other words, our actions tell where our heart is. God is watching. Be sure of the fact that as He does, He watches as a God who is faithful and just and all powerful.
Exodus 6:10-7:13 - I had never noticed what God told Moses in Exodus 7:1-2:
And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. 2 You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land.
Can you imagine God telling you that you would be like God to the most powerful ruler in the world? Moses, who had once again been giving God excuses, must have been shocked. God laid out the plan, and Moses and his brother Aaron agreed to follow God's plan.
2 Chronicles 35:1-19 - The faithfulness of Josiah, King of Judah is shown in this chapter. Not only did he follow the Lord, but he reinstated the Passover. Josiah took the Passover so seriously, that the chronicler tells us that the Passover had not been celebrated in Israel so well since the days of Samuel.
Romans 2:1-16 - It was earlier today (in Psalm 62:12) that I read about God rendering to each according to their work, and here it is again in Romans 2:6.
The apostle Paul speaks much about God's judgment as it relates to man's sin in Romans 2. It has been shown throughout the Bible that the human heart is exceedingly wicked. Paul reminds us to check our heart. God will judge the secrets of man. No man is without excuse for our actions, because the Holy Spirit is constantly speaking to us through our conscience about right and wrong. We need to be a people who seek the things of God.
