In Exodus 19 we have an amazing story. Moses came down and told the people to get ready because in three days they would encounter God.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes 11 and be ready by the third day, because on that day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. (Exodus 19:10-11)
Wow what an announcement! Can you imagine the excitement? God was going to come down on the mountain for all of them to see. Can you imagine the conversations that must of spread through the camp?! The excitement, the washing of the clothes, the preparations, because they as a people would see God coming down, and come down he did, curiously on the morning of the third day!
If you knew that God was coming down, in great power, wouldn’t you want to be ready? Wouldn’t you want to wash your clothes, and have everything in order? The anticipation, what would it be like? The fear, with warnings about not to breaking out and going up to see even closer. It is an incredible story of an incredible event. But what is even more amazing is that we too share that opportunity. God wants to be present in our life and in our church. God wants to come down in power and in a special way. Are we getting ready? Do we anticipate it with great excitement awe and wonder? What could happen if Holy Spirit were to come down with power in our church service this week? Are you ready for that?
Holy Spirit Rain Down!
