Scripture:
“Moses told the Israelites all that the Lord commanded him.” Numbers 29:40 NIV
Observation:
This simple passage is so powerful! Moses is seen as probably the most godly man who ever lived. He had powerful interactions with God. When God spoke to him, he didn’t waiver about whether he should tell th people of Israel what the Lord had spoken. He boldly declared what he heard from God. He told them ALL the Lord commanded him to.
Application:
It is easy to tell some or most of what the Lord speaks to your heart. God wants us to be reliable and faithful to declare ALL He speaks to us and not just what feels good to us. We don’t want to be the people who tell all of the wonderful blessings of following Jesus without telling the horrible future of those who don’t repent and come to Christ. As a speaker, teacher, etc. I need to speak the WHOLE counsel of God. I need to speak ALL that God speaks to me. I want to be a man of God like Moses, therefore I must be willing to speak ALL that God speaks to me, not being worried about the consequences.
Prayer:
Father, let me be found faithful in declaring ALL You want me to declare. Help me to speak the WHOLE truth and not just the appealing parts. Show me how to communicate Your words in simplicity and in power. Let my words accurately reflect ALL that You want me to communicate to Your people. Let my life be pure before You.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
