28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
Lots to absorb in this chapter. There is a lot happening, but I'm finding it tough to grasp a practical nugget.
I like this sentence, just thinking about a human spending 40 days with God. What must that have been like? This is the only time in recorded history that this has happened. Did Moses get hungry? Did he feel worthy? How did God write on the stone?

29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI also have trouble finding any practical application in this chapter. I just like the change that happens to Moses when he spends time in the presence of God, it is visible to everyone else. Maybe this is a piece in there for us too, spending time with God in prayer and following his instructions may be noticed by others we interact with.
