Be Silent Israel, and Listen
Deuteronomy 27:3-15
Synopsis Deuteronomy 27:3-15 3/16/2018
Moses commanded the Israelites to erect a stone altar on Mount Ebal. They were directed to set up the altar with unhewn stones immediately after they crossed the Jordan. They were tasked to inscribe the words of the law on the altar and offer communion sacrifices on it.
Moses then led the Israelites in a meditation on their special relationship with the Lord
Be Silent Israel, and Listen
It is said that a candle held next to the sun is insignificant. Light needs darkness to matter. Likewise, words need silence to matter.
Moses commanded the people to “be silent” – to listen intently – to listen with their whole being. To hear God through a world of noise.
Listening Prayer
The world isn’t getting less noisy.
You want to hear from God. You want to be more deliberate in the way you approach worship. You want to discover a more meaningful depth in your relationship with Jesus.
Listen.
20 minutes. Twice a day.
“but he would withdraw to deserted places to pray” Luke 5:16
