God is in control, even to the minutest detail no matter who
is in the picture. In Genesis 35:1 He
gives Jacob specific details about building an altar. He even tells the
Israelites how they should prepare sacrifices. (Exodus 23:17-18), all because
of the representation of the Passover meal. And He is always calling the shots.
In Exodus 34:23, He uses the number 3 to represent Himself as a triune so that
people recognize that He is all powerful. Indeed He is more powerful than His
people think He is and He is multi-dimensional. He commands respect; He
commands that His people know Him (not of Him, but Him); He commands that His
people come to Him and listen to Him. (Deuteronomy 12:5-7, 11-12) Moses reminds
His people of this. He reminds God’s elect that God has their backs. (Exodus
16:6-8). In the same way He has my back. He had a plan for the Israelites, He
had and has a plan for His church and He has a plan for me all personally.
God desires me. He as King wants me and considers me
beautiful. (Psalms 45:11). And I am
exhorted to give Him His due. He as King has given me so much. (Psalm 76:11) He
as King wants me to recognize His glory, beauty, and power. (Psalm 96:8-9).
