Welcome to Teshuvah, Elul 4
During Moses second 40 day visit, God, instructed him to chisel a second set of stone tablets and bring with him. When God sent Moses down the mountain with the original set, (Exodus 32:15-19) upon seeing what the people had done, Moses cast the two tablets of The Testimony out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.
The “original” agreement and plan broken, again. God assured Moses He would write on the second set of tablets, and He did! However God would not supply the second set of tablets, Moses would be ushered into this ministry of reconciliation, see 2 Corinthians 5: 18-19.
Two tablets; the first, instructions for our heart toward God, the second, instructions for our mind toward our fellow man and believers.
Law & Order was the original plan!
Law is required and necessary to govern people, and the word of God is necessary to govern God’s way. How else are we to be known as the people of God? God refers to His people as a Holy Nation, a peculiar people, set apart or sanctified people. (Found in the book of Exodus and 1st Peter)
Sanctified, meaning His very own workmanship, God’s masterpiece. Having His Name engraved on the art. Ephesians 2:10.
Excerpt for “His Work of Art”
You are His workmanship
Created in Christ Jesus
You’re not useless
That is not how He sees us
You are a solution
For this starving generation
Look around pay attention
To where you are stationed
He placed a clue
Deep inside your heart
Crying Abba Father
His very own work of art
“Like that priceless Picasso
His masterpiece and plan
His Breath His Pneuma
The very work of His hand”

“We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!” (Ephesians 2:10
Jesus Christ fulfilled the Ten Words He did not abolish the Law of God.
Teshuvah is my favorite time of year. What was concealed now revealed in Christ Jesus.
“This is the agreement (Testament, Covenant) that I will set up and conclude with them after those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My laws upon their hearts, and I will inscribe them on their minds (on their inmost thoughts and understanding),
Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:16, 25 AMPC
The Ecclesia or Assembly, we call the church, must follow Christ and the laws now imprinted in our hearts and engraved or inscribed on our minds. As uncomfortable as it may seem, we are instructed to correct, admonish, warn, and urge others.
A season to seek Him, and moreover ask Him to do a thorough scan and show what needs to be cleansed.
A season to present our heart and mind before Him, and say engrave Your Name deeper into my very being.
Say it with me, Yes Lord! Engrave Your Name deeper on this work and make me Your masterpiece.
