Exodus 29

46: Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.

46:그들은 내가 그들의 하나님 여호와로서 그들중에 거하려고 그들을 애굽 땅에서 인도하여 낸 줄을 알리라 나는 그들의 하나님 여호와니라.

God is proclaiming that He is their God, our God. He has brought the people out of Egypt
to be our God, he has sent Jesus only son down to earth to save us and become our Lord and saviour. God wants to be there for us He wants the relationship with us.

 In the beginning God gives detailed instructions for the Israelites to follow. Step by step obedience with God was what was required but we know that the law was powerless to make us God's people. Then Jesus chose to come down to Earth and save us from our sufferings and sin. He has called us friend and changed the relationship model from a vertical one to a horizontal model. He delights in working with us, he delights working in partnership. This gives us more responsibility and freedom.

Creativity and initiative is God given. When we use them to please God, we are using them in their rightful place. That is my goal to please God with my creativity and initiative.

7:17 Scott.
