Exodus 34:1-35:9, Matthew 27:15-31, Psalm 33:12-22, Proverbs 9:1-6

Exo 34:1 The Lord said to Moses, “Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. 2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.

Imagine that and what would you do? Will you go? Or yes I will go, but let me first finish what I ought to do first, or not now?

Luke 9:57 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 59 To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 And Jesus [7] said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

It points to us about the whole heart of following Jesus. Image, just image, God comes and call you the way He called Mosses.. Are you ready?

Lord, I pray that I know my God and I know your voice. I pray and ask that I will be willing to go and be ready to go. I know my Lord and I thus know my priorities.

Indeed, there is a lot of things to settle first, but do the right thing first and the first thing right for the Lord and of course that speak for my actions to my family as well.
