The Ten Commandments delivered to Moses were not
created in the moment but sometime in eternity past. Moses was a
prince of Egypt during the first 40 years of his life. The second 40
year period saw him living as a shepherd and outcast. He must have
thought his life was over but God had other plans. We have a way of
measuring time on earth but God has a completely different way of
measuring time in heaven, and when He spoke to Moses from the
burning bush, Moses didn’t know it, but he was about to embark on
the third phase of his life. The prophet Elijah was told to stay with a widow and
it ended up being a symbiotic relationship that benefited everyone
involved. Peter and John were told by Jesus to set up accommodations
for the Passover meal. They were at the right place at the right
time and met the right person and everything worked out just as
Jesus predicted. Philip was told by the Holy Spirit to intercept an
Ethiopian eunuch traveling with armed guards because he was the
Queen’s treasurer. This was a life threatening situation because
they could certainly have killed anyone that charged such an
entourage and yet that is exactly what the Holy Spirit told Philip
to do. God refers to Himself as the “I am.” This means He is always
in the moment, never early or late. |
