Telling Others What God Says

Scripture Exodus 8: [1] Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, `This is what the LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me.

Observation: We may not hear from God the way Moses did but we still know what He says through His word. God directs us what to say to others, He even commands it when He told us to go out and spread the gospel. He has given us a way we are to live or lives and has given us rules to follow. He wants none to perish, but for that to happen everyone needs to obey God’s commands and we are chosen to tell others what those commands are.

Application: One way to tell others how God wants us to live or life is by being an example. To love God more than anything and to love others as we love ourselves. We are to be humble and gracious when we speak and we need to be genially concerned for the wellbeing of others. Once others know they can trust what we are saying then we can tell them the words of God, so that they will listen.

Prayer: My Lord make me an example in this world of your love and mercy. Help me live this life the way you want me to live it and to draw others to you. Make me a messenger of the good news and help me bring others to your living grace.
