Hi and welcome back to His Words Are Life. 00:00:16.25\00:00:18.51 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you 00:00:18.71\00:00:20.30 for joining with me today 00:00:20.43\00:00:21.55 to read the Word of God. 00:00:21.73\00:00:22.91 When we were last together we were reading in Exodus about 00:00:23.11\00:00:25.61 the instructions that the Lord is giving to Moses 00:00:25.81\00:00:28.19 in building the sanctuary. And I was really touched 00:00:28.39\00:00:31.22 when we were reading together about where God came to 00:00:31.42\00:00:35.24 to meet with the people, specifically came to commune 00:00:35.34\00:00:37.51 with them, He came to the mercy seat. 00:00:37.61\00:00:39.84 He gave Moses the instructions to build the ark, 00:00:39.94\00:00:42.24 and to make the mercy seat on it and He said "and that's where 00:00:42.44\00:00:45.06 I will meet you and where I will commune with you. " 00:00:45.16\00:00:47.27 And if anybody watching right now wants to meet and commune 00:00:47.48\00:00:51.84 with God but there are things in your life that make you feel 00:00:51.94\00:00:55.73 unworthy and cut off and like, maybe, God may not 00:00:55.83\00:01:00.92 be too interested in meeting with you, 00:01:01.02\00:01:02.50 remember that as far back as the Old Testament with the 00:01:02.70\00:01:05.92 Israelites He said: "I will meet with you at the mercy seat. " 00:01:06.02\00:01:09.26 That's where each of us... and that's only where 00:01:09.46\00:01:10.95 each of us can meet with God. 00:01:11.05\00:01:12.11 Let's go and pray together before we start reading again. 00:01:12.21\00:01:14.52 Dear God, thank you so much for Your mercy. 00:01:14.72\00:01:17.38 Thank you that in Your love for us that we don't deserve 00:01:17.58\00:01:21.92 and we don't even understand, You have made provision 00:01:22.02\00:01:25.82 for us to come and meet with You. Not at a place of judgment, 00:01:25.92\00:01:28.68 not at a place of condemnation, but a place of mercy. 00:01:28.79\00:01:32.11 And that's where we want to be with You - always. 00:01:32.31\00:01:34.81 And that's what we need so desperately. 00:01:35.01\00:01:36.70 Come now and be with us especially as we read Your 00:01:36.90\00:01:39.13 words and write Your law in our heart, 00:01:39.23\00:01:41.25 and may these words bear fruit to Your glory. 00:01:41.45\00:01:43.71 We love You so much.
