Exodus 20:18-21

18 Now when all the people saw the thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled, and they stood far off 19 and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, lest we die.” 20 Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin.” 21 The people stood far off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

 
 

With the Ten Commandments concluded, the people are overwhelmed. The Lord has been speaking directly to the Israelites, but from now on He will speak to Moses on the mountain and then Moses will speak to the people.

We resume our reading on Monday with a new reading guide, Exodus Part 4.

Something to think about over the weekend: how can the Ten help you live more fully and freely? How are they God’s gift to you, today?
