Deuteronomy 5-7

In chapter 5 verses 23-27 Moses reminds the people of their reaction to God's audible voice when he spoke the 10 commandments while they were camped in Horeb. The people were terrified. Moses surely understood their fear as he recalled his first encounter with God's voice at the burning bush. The reaction of the people showed that the recognized God's greatness. They were not overwhelmed with curiosity. Their only focus was to stay away from God for they saw his power on display. There have been times where the display of power in God's creation put me in awe of his greatness. But I think that I have only a small grasp of what those Israelites experienced that day. It was truely a day they would never forget.
It took me about 12 minutes to read this passage.
