Exodus 33:11 (NIV) The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend…
When Moses finally acceded to God’s commission, a remarkable relationship began between a human being and God. “Moses had to be closer to God than any other human of his day. Moses would have to deliver the word of God to Pharaoh. He could not misspeak words of such import. Moses would take down the very law of God for his people. The scribe of God had to know the One speaking and understand Him clearly. Moses’ writing would present the world with knowledge of creation, the Flood, the great stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as told to him by God himself. These revelations would be entrusted by Yahweh only to someone familiar with him, a great friend, a man accustomed to audience with God” (McNeal). How carefully do we listen to the word of the Lord? Do we review it, study it, cherish it and build our lives on it? God is speaking. We must listen (II Cor. 16:9).
