How can we implement Moses' example of writing God's words in our lives? Moses’ Pattern: Recording Revelation “Then Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD.” – Exodus 24:4 Why Writing Matters • Writing preserved God’s exact words, not just impressions • It created a reference point for future obedience (Exodus 24:7) • It modeled diligence—Moses rose “early in the morning” to do it (v. 4) Scriptural Echoes of the Same Call • Deuteronomy 6:6-9 – write them on hearts, hands, doorposts • Deuteronomy 17:18-19 – every king must copy the Law “in a book” and read it daily • Habakkuk 2:2 – “Write down the vision… so that a herald may run with it.” • Luke 1:3-4 – Luke writes an orderly account “so that you may know the certainty” • 2 Corinthians 3:3 – now written “not with ink but with the Spirit… on tablets of human hearts” Practical Ways to Follow Moses Today • Hand-copy Scripture passages in a notebook—slows the mind to notice every word • Keep a daily journal of how each passage applies to choices, attitudes, and relationships • Post verses in visible spots: refrigerator, workstation, car dashboard • Create family “standing stones”: a framed verse commemorating answered prayer or milestone • Use digital tools (apps, lock-screen images) as modern tablets of remembrance • Share written insights with others—emails, letters, social media posts saturated with Scripture • Teach children to write and illustrate verses, reinforcing truth through creativity Writing That Shapes the Heart • Move from ink to life: consciously align decisions with the words you’ve written (James 1:22) • Review previous entries; notice patterns of God’s faithfulness (Psalm 77:11-12) • Memorize while writing—speak aloud as the pen moves to engage mind, mouth, and hand A Lifestyle of Continual Record-Keeping • Plan weekly “Mount Sinai moments”: set apart time to write out what God has shown through His Word • Store completed journals; future generations gain a legacy of faith just as Israel received the Book of the Covenant • Expect the Spirit to inscribe deeper than paper, forming Christlikeness within (Romans 8:29) Let Moses’ quill become our keyboard, notebook, chalk, and stylus—every medium turned into a testimony that the Lord still speaks and His words are worth preserving. |
