God speaks with man

And you said: 'Surely the LORD our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives. – Deuteronomy 5v24

'God has shown us His glory and his greatness...we have seen this day that God speaks with man and lives.' It is easy enough to read over the first part of this and miss the second. God is full of glory. God is great indeed. This truths make the rest even more amazing.

God speaks with man. How amazing is that? Not only that, God speaks with man and lets him live! This particular incident refers to God speaking to Moses, but it still reveals an amazing truth. God, the perfect Holy One, whose name is Holy, who inhabits eternity, condescends to talk to man.

I enjoy posting on a couple of internet forums. I have been posting on one for several years. There are people there in my ignore list. I simply won’t communicate with them. I can’t see them as ‘worth my time.’

Praise God that we are not on His ignore list. God talks to man. What a blessing!

What is tragic is how rarely most of us talk to Him.
