1. The Ways of God- Moses knew the ways of God while the Israelites knew His acts. What's the difference? Understanding the ways of God means knowing who He is - how He works, thinks and what He wants to do.
2. Knowing God's acts is limited to just seeing what He does without necessarily
understanding how or why.
"He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel." - Psalm 103:7 (NKJV)
understanding how or why.
"He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel." - Psalm 103:7 (NKJV)
3. One of the implications of focusing on God's acts instead of His ways is that your faith in God is likely to be transactional (the small picture) & not relational (the big picture). It might have been okay for an Israelite in the time of Moses to be content with just knowing
4. ...God's acts. But, seeing as you've been called into a royal priesthood under the New Covenant (making you a Moses over your own life), you need to press towards the higher goal of knowing God's ways. It's literally the only way to build a lifestyle of faith in God.
5. However, that cannot happen if you continue to treat faith as your car's spare tyre that you use occasionally. Whether you're a career person, a businessperson, or a ministry person, knowing God's ways will be the ultimate success factor.
6. Confession:
I have the help of the Holy Spirit to know, understand and live by the ways of God.
