Psalms 4:4
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
Selah.
Now that we have been redeemed, separated and set aside from Egypt, drawn away from our own purposes, separated and sanctified for God’s purpose,; reborn in the waters of the seabed of the Red Sea; now that He has brought us unto Him near the mountain to hear His Instruction, He has called us to a new purpose: let us therefore make Him the object of our focus. May we not look back, neither to the left or to the right in doubt and questioning of His ways for us.
Now is a time for sweet communion with Him in the Holy of Holies, where He lives in the chambers of our heart. Now is the time for quietness, reflection and listening to His voice; the time to take our shoes off, approach the Holy Mount and hear the voice of God giving His Instruction.
There, in the silencing of our own purposes, in the surrendering of our will, leaving behind our old culture, He gives us the peace that passes all understanding; He reveals Himself, and His purpose to us just as He did Moses (Exodus 19-20), and like Paul, the scales are removed from our eyes and we finally receive the answers to our plaguing questions; we finally understand.
