Meditations in Exodus

This meditation is a companion to a previous meditation:  I Will Now Turn Aside - Exodus 3:1-4    

Exodus 3:1-4 reads, “Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.  And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.  And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses.  And he said, Here am I.” 

A bush that caught fire in the desert under the oppressive heat of the sun was not an amazing sight.  Yet, certainly, a bush that burned, but was not consumed was a very amazing sight.  Thus Moses decided to turn aside from his common path as a shepherd in order to observe this amazing sight more closely.  Yet this amazing sight did not exist simply for the sake of Moses’ curiosity.  Rather, it existed in order that the Lord might get Moses’ attention.  Even so, when Moses turned aside to approach the amazing sight of the burning bush, the Lord God “called unto him out of the midst of the bush.”  Thus Moses’ perspective of this event was brought to a change.  He now understood that he was not simply approaching an amazing sight, but was actually approaching the Almighty God.  Indeed, the Lord God immediately stopped Moses from approaching any further in order that He might teach Moses how to approach aright.

A proverb is a short, pithy saying that expresses a significant, substantial truth for life.  In the book of the Proverbs, the actual compilation of proverbial statements begins with chapter 10 and extends to the end of the book.  In the following series of posts, I wish to present those proverbial statements that specifically mention our relationship with the Lord.  Certainly, every proverb of God’s Holy Word concerns our relationship with the Lord our God; for every proverb concerns the character of our walk before Him.  Yet the following list of proverbial statements make specific mention of the Lord and of our relationship to Him.  In the first six parts of this study (see above), we considered passages from Proverbs 10-24.  In this part of the study, we shall consider passages from Proverbs 25-31.
