What can we learn from God's relationship with Moses in Psalm 103:7? A Window into Intimacy—Psalm 103:7 “He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.” What “His Ways” Means • “Ways” refers to God’s character, purposes, and inner counsels (Exodus 33:13). • “Deeds” points to outward acts—plagues, manna, Red Sea, etc. (Psalm 78:11–12). • The verse contrasts surface observation with deep fellowship. Insights from God’s Dealings with Moses • God desires relationship, not mere spectators (Exodus 34:5–7). • He welcomes honest dialogue—Moses spoke “face to face” (Numbers 12:8). • Intimacy grows through obedience; Moses obeyed even in mystery (Exodus 19:7–8). • Revelation fuels intercession—knowing God’s heart made Moses plead for Israel (Exodus 32:11–14). • God’s self-disclosure is grace, not merit (Deuteronomy 7:7–8). Lessons for Believers Today • Pursue God’s nature, not only His interventions (Jeremiah 9:23–24). • Seek Scripture to grasp His ways; every page unveils His character (2 Timothy 3:16–17). • Obedience positions us to receive deeper insight (John 14:21). • Bold, reverent prayer flows from knowing Him personally (Hebrews 4:16). • The New Covenant broadens this privilege—“I have called you friends” (John 15:15). Practical Steps to Cultivate a Moses-like Walk 1. Read a passage daily, asking, “What does this reveal about who God is?” 2. Respond immediately to any command or prompting you find. 3. Set apart moments of silent attention; listen before speaking (Psalm 46:10). 4. Intercede for others using God’s revealed attributes as the basis of appeal. 5. Keep a journal of God’s “ways” (character traits) you discover; review often. Key Takeaways • God invites believers beyond witnessing miracles to understanding His heart. • Revelation is relational; it grows where trust and obedience flourish. • Psalm 103:7 assures that the same God who met Moses is eager to make His ways known to all who earnestly seek Him. |
