God Told Moses ' Write Done These Words' - Exodus 34: 27-28

God gave Moses instructions never forgotten
'write down these words' this Moses did
words that would change Moses life
now His name would never be hid

God announced His own covenant
made with Isreal a people He chose
and with Moses His leader to be
who would be God's weapon over His foes

40 days and 40 nights Moses spent
there with His Lord for so long
not any food or anything to drink
but his Lord's presence was his song

From this point, God gave to Moses
His ten commandments to spread abroad
this HIs law that would show their sin
obedience to it would escape God's rod

At this point, man clearly needed a saviour
only God could be that special one
His son Jesus would fill this role
dying for our sin God's will be done!

("Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write down these words, for in accordance with them I have made a covenant with you and with Israel." So Moses stayed there with the Lord for forty days and forty nights, without eating any food or drinking any water, and he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.)

Gordon, I do take a bit too long to answer you, but as you must have understood, love your religious accounts of the Old and New Testaments - The Old Testament fascinates me and The New Testament I find so spiritual. God Bless you Gordon, Hugs Jennifer.

yes I did, sorry I didn't reply but I have fallen so behind that I'm even catching up with Poems of the day. Unfortunately I don't recall the name at all Gordon, but i'm so sorry you can't contact her relations or any friends of hers, so sad. Be well Gordon my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Wonderful Gordon. I do hope Gershon Wolfe reads this one so it will give him a measure of peace. He is so unhappy right now with all that is going on in Israel. He worries for his people. This verse is so filled with hope and love for His Chosen People. As always a fave for me. God Bless, JB

Thanks Judy, Glad you thought it was wonderful and sorry to hear about Gershon Wolfe being unhappy about his homeland, it is a worrying situation over there in Israel. Also thanks for making it a fave. Have a blessed day, Gordon
