Exodus 31: 18 "When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God."
Moses has been on the top of Mt. Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights receiving the Law from God. At the end of the ordeal, he comes down the mountain with two stone tablets.
Much of the law is boring. Let's be honest. So many details on fabric and gold and dimensions of this and that...don't have sex with this and don't have sex with that...and on and on it goes for 40 days. However, Moses got to spend time with God and hear God's specific instructions on how to live. Despite the boring details, Moses pays attention to God and his plan. Moses spent 40 days and 40 nights with God listening to all of this. When was the last time I spent 40 minutes listening for God and paying attention to him? I get bored in a 1 hour, 15 minute church service! Today I need to relax and listen. I need to pay attention to the details today.
Dear Jesus, thank you for your word, your details and your truth. Amen.
