And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
Exodus 20:20 KJV Commentary https://bible.com/bible/1/exo.20.20.KJV
Moses Moses…
He was in such intimate relationship with God that he feared not the lord.
He understood that he was not to dishonor or disregard God because he was familiar with him
Familiarity was not to set in but then he also knew he was God and needed to be accorded honour..
There is a proverb in ghana that if someone is know to you in the day, you do not light a Lamb to identify him at night 🌃.
Moses knw God so well that the thundeings and lightning 🌩, the darkness and smoke did not change 💱 his knowledge of God.. He new it was all a matter of power display but God was s us lord, father and friend.
He did not disregard the symbols but he alos did not misinterprete it,despite the fear 😱 it caused.
Dear not.
