It is Too Heavy for Me
Numbers 11:14 (KJB) I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
The Israelites complained to Moses and Moses whined to God.
“It is too heavy.
How can I do this job alone.”
Moses quickly began to feel sorry for himself and to wind his thoughts further and further from God.
We have all been there. The road before us is long, the job is hard, and in our limited ...

Waxed Strong in Spirit
Luke 1:80 (KJB) And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
This short succinct verse has much to say about the time of maturing in John’s youth. His growing and maturing years were spent in the desert. Not the palace.
The growth of Paul (formerly known as Saul) who mingled with men of law, sprouting forth from the feet of Gamaliel, and on ...

A Good Question
Acts 7:26-29 (KJB) And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another? 27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? 28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday? 29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and ...

At the Commandment of The Lord

They Did as The Lord Commanded
Exodus 7:10-13 (KJB) And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they ...

More Like Moses
Exodus 33:13-15 (KJB) Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

No Other God
Exodus 34:14 (KJB) For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
Moses beseeched God for His help. While he had been busy serving God the people, left alone for a time, had chosen to busy themselves by serving golden idols. Moses understood that idolatry in any form was a “spiritual slap in the face” to God and would not be tolerated.
God intervened in this idolatrous situation of ...
