Moses asks Father to show him His ways so he can know Him; Exodus 33:13-14 “And now, please, if I have found favour in Your eyes, please show me Your way, and let me know You, so that I find favour in Your eyes. And consider that this nation is Your people.” And He said, “My Presence does go, and I shall give you rest.”
Do we know that Father showed Moses His ways? Read Psalm 103:7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.
Moses knew the Fathers ways and because Moses walked in His ways, he received grace and blessings.
What are Father’s ways.
This is what Father did to the Israelites when He took them into the wilderness; Deuteronomy 8:2 “And you shall remember that Yahuah your Elohim led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, prove you, to know what is in your heart (search your heart), whether you guard His commands or not.
Where are we presently? Are we still in the wilderness where we are been humbled, been tested, for our hearts to be searched, weather we are walking in His commands or not? That is why we are tried (proven). His purpose is to see whether we shall endure and guard His commands, or not.
Deuteronomy 8:3 “And He humbled you, and let you suffer hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, to make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes from the mouth of Yahuah.
Where are we standing presently? Has Father humbled you, has He let you go through suffering and are you letting Him feed you manna so that you can know that you cannot live by bread alone, but by the Word that comes from the mouth of Yahuah only? This is what Messiah said in Matthew 4:4 But He answering, said, “It has been written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of Yahuah.’ ”
We know the Word is Yahusha – the bread of life. Yahusha came to do His Fathers ways. So Yahusha is the Way.
Deuteronomy 8:4-5 “Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. “Thus you shall know in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so Yahuah your Elohim disciplines you,
Where are you and I? Did you make it through the wilderness? Do you understand that Yahuah will discipline you, just as you discipline your own child!
Deuteronomy 8:6 therefore you shall guard the commands of Yahuah your Elohim, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
His ways are His commands. If Yahusha is the way and the bread of life then the commands are the manna, the Word that comes from the mouth of Yahuah.
The way, the bread, the manna, the word, the commands – all wrapped up in Yahusha.
What caused the people not to enter into the land or into His rest! What is going to prevent us from entering into His kingdom or rest?
Psalm 95:10-11 tells us; “For forty years I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘They are a people who go astray in their hearts, and they do not know My ways.’ “As I swore in My wrath, ‘If they enter into My rest...’ ”
Sin leads our heart away from Him because we do not know His ways.
This is mentioned as well in Hebrews 3:10-11; “Therefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.’ “As I swore in My wrath, ‘If they shall enter into My rest ...’ ”
Who will not enter; Hebrews 3:17-18 And with whom was He grieved forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, but to those who did not obey?
Obedience is the fruit of belief, and disobedience proves that such an one does not truly believe.
Caution for us today; Hebrews 3:12-13 Look out, brothers, lest there be in any of you a wicked heart of unbelief in falling away from the living Elohim, but encourage one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened by the deceivableness of sin.
Hebrews 4:7 He again defines a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so much later, as it has been said, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
Do it today! Do not delay!
Hear what Messiah says about those who think they are walking in His ways!
Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire (the ways) of My Father in the heavens. “Many shall say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!’
Even though they are doing mighty works in His Name! Verse 15, and also Matthew 13:41-42 tells us that those doing lawlessness shall be cast into the furnace of fire!
Messiah warns those who are walking in His ways against the so-called believing people who will prosecute the true believers.
John 16:1-3 “These words I have spoken to you, so that you do not stumble (take note so you do not stumble of these words). “They shall put you out of the congregations, but an hour is coming when everyone who kills you shall think he is rendering service to Elohim. Why would they do this! Because in verse 3 it says; And this they shall do to you because they did not know the Father, nor Me. Other words they do not know His ways.
Shavuot is a time when His ways was given to us verbally at Mt Sinai and many years later, verbally given by Messiah and today His ways is given to us verbally through His Spirit (the Ruach ha Kodesh).
Let us truly start walking in His ways.
